Output Control | Description | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
A/C Relay |
Important: This function is only allowed with the ignition ON, engine OFF. This function controls the A/C compressor relay. When commanded ON, the A/C compressor will cycle ON/OFF for 3-5 seconds. | ||||
EGR Solenoid |
Important: This function is only allowed with the ignition ON, engine OFF. This function controls the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) solenoid. The EGR solenoid will cycle from 0-100 percent for 3-5 seconds several times, when commanded ON. This output can also be monitored on the scan tool by observing the EGR Position Sensor data parameter. | ||||
Engine Controls Ignition Relay |
Important: This function is only allowed with the ignition ON, engine OFF, and there are no DTCs set. This function controls the engine controls ignition relay or MAIN relay. The relay is always ON when the ignition is ON or the engine is running. When commanded OFF, the engine controls ignition relay will turn OFF for 3-5 seconds. Commanding the relay OFF will set some DTCs, which must be cleared before the relay can be commanded OFF again. | ||||
EVAP Purge Solenoid |
Important: This function is only allowed with the ignition ON, engine OFF. This function controls the evaporate emission (EVAP) purge solenoid. The EVAP purge solenoid will cycle ON between 5 percent and 95 percent several times, when commanded ON. This output can be monitored on the scan tool by observing the EVAP Purge Solenoid Command data parameter. | ||||
Fan High |
Important: This function is only allowed with the ignition ON, engine OFF. This function controls the high speed cooling fan relay. When commanded ON, the cooling fan will turn ON at high speed for 5 seconds. | ||||
Fan Low |
Important: This function is only allowed with the ignition ON, engine OFF. This function controls the low speed cooling fan relay. When commanded ON, the cooling fan will turn ON at low speed for 5 seconds. | ||||
Fuel Pump Relay |
Important: This function is only allowed with the ignition ON, engine OFF. This function controls the fuel pump relay. When commanded ON, the fuel pump relay will cycle ON/OFF for 3-5 seconds. | ||||
Injector 1-6 | This function controls the selected fuel injector while the engine is running. When commanded ON, the selected fuel injector will be turned OFF for 5 seconds. This output can also be monitored by observing the appropriate fuel control heated oxygen sensor (HO2S). The HO2S voltage should indicate lean, low voltage, when the fuel injector is turned OFF. | ||||
IMT Valve |
Important:
This function controls the IMT valve solenoid. The IMT valve solenoid will cycle ON/OFF for 3-5 seconds several times, when commanded ON. This output can also be monitored by observing the IMT valve actuator move as the solenoid allows vacuum to it. | ||||
