Parameter | System State | Expected Value | Definition |
---|---|---|---|
Operating Conditions: Ignition ON | |||
Battery Voltage | -- | Varies | The scan tool displays 0-19 volts. This is the voltage input supplied to the instrument panel cluster. |
Engine Coolant Temp | -- | Varies | The scan tool displays 38-128°C (100-260°F). The displayed coolant temperature gage value in the IPC. |
Engine Speed | -- | 0 RPM | The scan tool displays 0-9999 RPM. The current engine speed (RPM) signal received by the IPC. |
PRNDL State | -- | The scan tool displays Manual, Low, 2nd, 3rd, Drive, Neutral, Reverse, or Park. The state of the PRNDL indicator as commanded by the IPC. | |
Fuel Level | -- | Varies | The scan tool displays 0-100%. The IPC calculates the amount of fuel remaining in the tank based on the input from the ECM. |
Trip Odometer | -- | Varies | The scan tool displays miles. The IPC calculates trip odometer information from the vehicle speed data received. |
Trip Reset Switch | -- | Inactive | The scan tool displays Active or Inactive. The IPC monitors the control stem on the cluster. A closed switch is displayed as Active. |
Vehicle Speed | -- | 0 mph (0 km/h) | The scan tool displays 0-255 km/h (0-155 mph). The current vehicle speed signal received by the IPC. |
Scan Tool Output Control | Description |
---|---|
Coolant Gauge Sweep Test | The instrument panel cluster (IPC) drives the coolant gauge at or below minimum for a few seconds when you select ON, then drives the gauge at or above maximum for a few seconds. The test will end after one cycle of the gauge sweep. |
Fuel Gauge Sweep Test | The instrument panel cluster (IPC) drives the fuel gauge at or below minimum for a few seconds when you select ON, then drives the gauge at or above maximum for a few seconds. The test will end after one cycle of the gauge sweep. |
Lamp Test | The IPC illuminates all the indicators when you select On. The indicators should remain illuminated until commanded Off. |
PRNDL Display | An underscore illuminates under each indicator in the PRNDL display until commanded Off. |
Speed Gauge Sweep Test | The instrument panel cluster (IPC) drives the speedometer at or below minimum for a few seconds when you select ON, then drives the gauge at or above maximum for a few seconds. The test will end after one cycle of the gauge sweep. |
Tach Gauge Sweep Test | The instrument panel cluster (IPC) drives the tachometer at or below minimum for a few seconds when you select ON, then drives the gauge at or above maximum for a few seconds. The test will end after one cycle of the gauge sweep. |
