indicates the voltage of the O2 sensor High signal circuit. With a COLD O2
sensor the signal circuit BIAS voltage of about 451 mV should
be displayed. The oxygen sensor will produce voltage in relation

temperature. High exhaust oxygen content, or LEAN conditions,
will produce low voltage (100 mV). Low exhaust oxygen
content, or RICH conditions, will produce high voltage (900 mV).
With the oxygen sensor at operating temperature and the engine
in Closed Loop operation the oxygen sensor voltage should rapidly
fluctuate between low and high voltage.
HO2S Bank 2 Sensor 1: Display shows voltage from 0.0-1.1 volts. This display
indicates the voltage of the O2 sensor High signal circuit. With a COLD O2
sensor the signal circuit BIAS voltage of about 451 mV should

position for the long term fuel trim is 0%. The long term fuel trim is
based on short term fuel trim learned values. It is stored
in memory blocks of the long term memory according to MAP
and RPM values. A percentage greater than 0% indicates that
time is being added to the Fuel Control solenoid pulse width,
increasing the amount of fuel to the engine. A percentage less
than 0% indicates time is being subtracted from the pulse
width, reducing the amount fuel to the engine. A value of 0%
indicates no compensation is required to operate the engine at
the desired 16.8 to 1 air/fuel ratio.
Loop Status: Display shows OPEN LOOP or CLOSED LOOP. Closed Loop displayed
indicates that the AF ECM is controlling fuel delivery according to oxygen
sensor voltage. In Open Loop, the AF ECM ignores the oxygen
sensor voltage and bases the amount of fuel to be delivered
on other input sensors. At extremely high ambient temperatures
or when towing a trailer, it is possible for the system to
remain in Open Loop operation in order to control catalytic
converter temperatures.

state of the low pressure lock-off solenoid. During alternative fuel operation
conditions the LPL remains closed until at least 25 RPM

per second (g/s) from 0-512 and in frequency from 0-31,999 Hz.
The MAF sensor produces a frequency signal equal to 2.4 g/s whenever the
ignition is ON and the engine is OFF. The 2.4 g/s signal is necessary
in order to detect circuit faults. A loss of the MAF sensor signal to
the AF ECM would result in 0.0 g/s airflow being displayed.
MAP Sensor: Display shows manifold pressure in Kilo Pascals (Kpa) from 10-104
and voltage from 0-5.0. At key ON , engine not running, the MAP
value will reflect barometric pressure. To check for an accurate
MAP reading multiply your local barometric pressure by 3.386
to obtain a map value that should be within 2 Kpa of
displayed value at key ON , engine not running.
(Gasoline) MIL Command: Display shows ON or OFF. The MIL is controlled by both the AF ECM
and the gasoline control module (VCM / PCM or ECM). This display
indicates ON whenever the GASOLINE control module commands the
MIL ON. The internal circuitry of the AF ECM monitors, but
does not affect, the gasoline control modules operation of the
MIL. The MIL is illuminated if either module has detected a problem
that affects vehicle emissions, driveabillity or could cause
powertrain damage. The gasoline control module illuminates
the MIL when the ignition is ON and the engine OFF in order to
perform a bulb test.
(Alt. Fuel) MIL Command: Display shows ON or OFF. The MIL is controlled by both the AF ECM
and the gasoline control module (VCM / PCM or ECM). The (AF ECM)
MIL COMMAND indicates ON whenever the MIL Control (AF ECM) output
circuit is commanding the MIL ON. The MIL is illuminated if
either module has detected a problem that affects vehicle emissions,
driveability or could cause powertrain damage.

indicates the voltage monitored by the AF ECM from the gasoline control module
5 volt sensor return circuit.
Short Term FT Avg.: Display shows percentage from -100 to +99%. The center
position for the short term fuel trim is 0%. A percentage greater than 0%
indicates that time is being added to the Fuel Control solenoid
pulse width, increasing the amount of fuel to the engine to
compensate for a lean condition sensed by the average of both
the oxygen sensors. A percentage less than 0% indicates time
is being subtracted from the pulse width reducing the amount
of fuel to the engine to compensate for a rich condition
sensed by the oxygen sensor. A value of 0% indicates no compensation
is required to operate the engine at the desired 16.8 to 1 air/fuel
ratio.
TP Sensor: Display shows throttle angle from 0-100% and sensor voltage
from 0.0-5.0 volts. The % display indicates the throttle angle
opening from closed (0%) to fully open (100%). The AF ECM learns the

about 0.9 volts. Learning the closed throttle position
is necessary in order to adjust for production tolerances. The
voltage display indicates the throttle angle opening from closed
(about 0.5 volts) to fully open (about 4.0 volts).
