GM Service Manual Online
For 1990-2009 cars only

Important: A scan tool that displays faulty data should not be used, and the problem should be reported to the scan tool manufacturer. Use of a faulty scan tool can result in misdiagnosis and unnecessary replacement of parts.

Use the Typical Values Table only after the On-Board Diagnostic System Check has been completed, no DTCs were noted, and you have determined that the on-board diagnostics are functioning properly. Scan tool values from a properly-running engine may be used for comparison with the engine diagnosing. The typical scan data values represent values that would be seen on a normally-running engine.
