Barometric Pressure (BARO)--Range (0-5 Volts): The BARO represents a measurement of the barometric air pressure.
This measurement is determined by using the Manifold Air Pressure (MAP) sensor
in order to determine manifold vacuum. This function is performed
when the Ignition is selected from OFF to ON, and during high throttle angle
operations when manifold pressure equals ambient barometric pressure. This
parameter is scaled in volts which is the raw output from the MAP sensor
prior to being converted by the VCM to kPa.
Barometric Pressure (BARO)-- Range (62 kPa-104 kPa): The VCM calculates the displayed BARO parameter from the MAP sensor
when the ignition is selected from OFF to ON and at WOT conditions. The BARO

control circuit has 12 volts applied to it. This is a method to control the
current applied to the valve motor. As duty cycle increases, so does current
which forces the valve to open further and allow more exhaust gas to enter
the intake. 100% duty cycle would indicate a fully opened valve.
EGR Sensor--Range (0-5 Volts): The EGR Sensor indicates the actual EGR pintle position, as detected
by the VCM, scaled in voltage. A low voltage indicates a closed valve.
Engine Load--Range (0-100%): The VCM determines the engine load based upon the engine speed
and MAF sensor readings. Engine Load increases with any increase in RPM and/or
airflow.
Engine Run Time--Range (0:00:00-18:12:15) Hours: Minutes:
Seconds: The Engine Run Time is a measure of how long the engine has run
during this ignition cycle. When the engine stops running, the timer resets
to zero.

The EVAP duty cycle is a pulse width modulated voltage applied to the purge
valve which is displayed as a percentage. A high percentage of EVAP duty
cycle would indicate near maximum canister purging.

closed EVAP Vent Solenoid would indicate the Evaporative System is being tested
for leaks.
Excess Vacuum Test-- (Pass/Not Run/Fail): The Excess Vacuum Test will Fail if fuel tank vacuum builds at
an excessive rate during normal EVAP canister purge. A restricted vent
valve or vent valve hoses will cause improper venting. The scan tool
display states for this parameter are Pass and Not Run/Fail.
Fuel Level--Range (0-100%): The scan tool indicates as a percentage the level of fuel in the
fuel tank. As the senders float position changes, the Fuel Level sensors signal

after it reaches it limit of 255.
HVAC in Recirculation Mode-- (ON/OFF): If the Secondary High Pressure switch closes, indicating high refrigerant
pressures, auto recirculation will be commanded ON by the VCM. This will prevent
warm outside air from entering the vehicle which might further raise the
A/C refrigerant pressures.
IAC Position--Range (0-255) Counts: The scan tool displays in counts the Idle Air Control (IAC) pintle
position commanded by the VCM. The greater the number of counts, the larger
the air passage opening. The Idle Air Control should respond
fairly quickly to changes in engine load in order to maintain desired
idle RPM.

be unchanging when NO knock is present.
Long Term Fuel Trim (FT) Bn 1--Range (0-255 Counts): The Long Term Fuel Trim (FT) is derived from the short term fuel
trim value. The VCM uses the Long Term Fuel Trim for the long-term correction
of the fuel delivery. A value of 128 counts indicates that
the fuel delivery requires NO compensation to maintain a 14.7:1
air to fuel ratio. A value below 128 counts means that the
fuel system is too rich and the fuel delivery is being reduced, requiring
decreased injector pulse width. A value above 128 counts indicates
that a lean condition exists. The VCM compensates by adding fuel,
increasing the injectors pulse width.

Required): The Long Term Fuel Trim (FT) is derived from the short term fuel
trim value. The VCM uses the Long Term Fuel Trim for the long-term correction
of the fuel delivery. A value of 128 counts indicates that

air to fuel ratio. A value below 128 counts means that the
fuel system is too rich and the fuel delivery is being reduced, requiring
decreased injector pulse width. A value above 128 counts indicates
that a lean condition exists. The VCM compensates by adding fuel,
requiring increased injector pulse width. As fuel compensation is required,
the difference between commanded long term fuel trim and 128 counts will
be displayed as a percentage.

Required): The Long Term Fuel Trim (FT) is derived from the short term fuel
trim value. The VCM uses the Long Term Fuel Trim for the long-term correction
of the fuel delivery. A value of 128 counts indicates that
the fuel delivery requires NO compensation to maintain a 14.7:1 air to
fuel ratio. A value below 128 counts means that the fuel
system is too rich and the fuel delivery is being reduced, requiring
decreased injector pulse width. A value above 128 counts indicates
that a lean condition exists. The VCM compensates by adding fuel,
requiring increased injector pulse width. As fuel compensation is required,
the difference between commanded long term fuel trim and 128 counts will
be displayed as a percentage.
Loop Status-- (Open Loop/Close Loop): The Loop Status indicates when the VCM is controlling fuel delivery
which is calculated using the HO2S bank 1 and 2 inputs. This is called closed

it into a grams per second (g/s) of airflow scale. This raw frequency can
be displayed by the scan tool as it is detected by the VCM.
Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP)--Range (10 kPa-104 kPa): The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor measures the change
in intake manifold pressure caused by engine load and engine speed changes.
During WOT, MAP will be maximum. During decel, vacuum will be high in the
intake and MAP will be displayed at its minimum pressure.
Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP)--Range (0.0-5.0 Volts): The MAP sensor produces a low signal voltage when the manifold
pressure is low. A low MAP voltage indicates a high vacuum in the intake manifold.
The MAP sensor produces a high signal voltage when the manifold
pressure is high. A high MAP voltage indicates a low vacuum in the
intake manifold. With the ignition ON and the engine OFF, the manifold
pressure equals the ambient atmospheric pressure. This will produce a relatively
high MAP signal voltage. The VCM uses this information as an indication
of the vehicle's altitude. This parameter is referred to as the
BARO.

DTC has set, the number of misfires in the register will be added to the
Misfire History cyl register each time the current cyl. register is reset
to zero.

voltage averages above the 450 mV threshold, the VCM reduces the fuel
delivery in order to compensate for the indicated rich condition.
Short Term Fuel Trim (FT) Bn 1--Range (Percentage of Compensation
Required): The short term fuel trim was formerly the fuel integrator. The
short term fuel trim represents a short-term correction to the fuel delivery
by the VCM in response to the amount of time the HO2S voltage spends
above or below the 450 mV threshold. As fuel compensation
is required, the difference between commanded Short Term Fuel Trim and 128
counts will be displayed as a percentage.
Short Term Fuel Trim (FT) Bn 2--Range (0-255 Counts): The short term fuel trim was formerly the fuel integrator. The
short term fuel trim represents a short-term correction to the fuel delivery
by the VCM in response to the amount of time the HO2S voltage spends
above or below the 450 mV threshold. A HO2S voltage reading
below 450 mV indicates a lean air to fuel mixture. If the
HO2S voltage averages below the 450 mV threshold, the short
