The PCM uses this information to change transmission shift calibrations,
and to turn ON an indicator lamp on the instrument panel cluster (IPC)
(when equipped). Refer to Cruise Control Diagnosis for further
information.
Desired Idle Speed -- 0-3187 RPM: The PCM commands the idle speed. The PCM compensates for various
engine loads in order to maintain the desired idle speed. The actual engine
RPMs speed should remain close to the desired idle under the various
engine loads with the engine idling.
ECT-- Range -40°C-151°C (-40°F-304°F): The engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor sends engine temperature
information to the PCM. The PCM supplies 5 volts to the engine coolant
temperature sensor circuit. The sensor is a thermistor which changes
internal resistance as temperature changes. When the sensor is
cold (internal resistance high), the PCM monitors a high voltage
which it interprets as a cold engine. As the sensor warms (internal
resistance decreases), the voltage signal will decrease and the
PCM will interpret the lower voltage as a warm engine.

oxygen output voltage past the catalytic converter. This voltage remains inactive,
or the voltage will appear lazy within a range of 100 mV
(lean exhaust) and 900 mV (rich exhaust) when the system
is operating in a closed loop.

is displayed in counts. The higher the counts read, the greater the commanded
idle speed is. The idle air control responds fairly quickly to
changes in the engine load in order to maintain the desired idle
RPM.
IAT-- Range -40°C-151°C (-40°F-304°F): The PCM converts the resistance of the intake air temperature (IAT)

value. The Long Term FT is used for the long term correction of the
fuel delivery. A value of the 128 counts (0 percent)
indicates that the fuel delivery requires no compensation in order
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. The PCM is decreasing the injector pulse width.
A value above 128 counts indicates that a lean condition
exists for which the PCM is compensating.
Loop Status -- Range Open/Closed: A closed loop displayed indicates that the PCM is controlling the
fuel delivery according to the oxygen sensor (O2S 1) voltage. The PCM
controls the fuel delivery air to fuel ratio as close to 14.7:1
as possible.
MAP -- Range 11-105 kPa, 0-5.0 Volts: The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor measures the change

to the history misfire counter after 195 total misfires have
taken place. If 1 cylinder is misfiring, the misfiring current
counter will have 195 misfires counted before adding to its history
counter. If 2 cylinders are misfiring, the misfiring current
counters will add to their history counters after 97 misfires.
Increments only after a misfire DTC has been set.

of test samples this ignition cycles. The samples counter should never indicate
greater than 1 unless the technician has cleared a DTC or disconnected
the battery.

the fuel. The purge learn memory is based on the EVAP purge. This number is
added to the fuel trim calculations. The fuel is added or subtracted
there. A number near 1 indicates that the fuel is being added
to the fuel trim. A number near 0 indicates that fuel is being
taken away from the fuel trim.
Rich/Lean Transition -- Range 0-255 counts: The PCM counts the number of times the oxygen sensor (O2S 1)
goes from a high voltage (rich exhaust) to a low voltage (lean exhaust) within
a 100 second period. Rich/lean transition should increment
when the vehicle is operating within the Conditions for Setting
in DTC P0133 or DTC P1133.
Rich/Lean Avg. -- Range 0-249 mS: The PCM takes the rich/lean transition value following the completion
of the data collection period as specified in the Conditions for Setting
in DTC P0133 and DTC P1133. Then the PCM divides
the value with the 100 second period.
Rich/Lean to Lean/Rich Ratio Sen. 1 -- Range 0:1-15.93:1: The rich/lean average is divided by the lean/rich average in order
to find the oxygen sensor (O2S 1) ratio.
Short Term FT-- Range 0-255 (-100 Percent to 100 Percent): Short Term FT represents a Short Term correction to fuel delivery
by the PCM in response to the amount of time the oxygen sensor voltage
spends above or below the 450 mV threshold. If the oxygen
sensor has mainly been below 450 mV, indicating a lean air/fuel
mixture, Short Term FT will increase to tell the PCM to add fuel.
If the oxygen sensor voltage stays mainly above the threshold,
the PCM will reduce fuel delivery to compensate for the indicated
rich condition.
Spark -- Range 64 to -64 degrees: This is a display of the spark advance (IC) calculation which the
PCM is programming in the ignition system. It computes the desired spark advance
using data such as engine temperature, RPM, engine load, vehicle

reads between 0.36-0.96 volts at idle to above 4.0 volts
at wide open throttle (WOT).
Trans. Range -- Range Park/Reverse/Neutral/Overdrive/Drive 3/Drive
2/Low/Invalid: The scan tool displays the decoded position of the transmission
range switch PRNDL inputs. This information is then sent by UART serial data
to the instrument panel cluster (IPC) to be displayed to the
operator on the IPC. If a valid combination of inputs is not
seen by the PCM, Invalid will be displayed.
TR Switch P, A, B, C -- Range High or Low: A transaxle mounted switch is used as an input to let the PCM know
what position the gear select lever is in. The scan tool status will switch
from high to low as different combinations are met. In Park,
PRNDL P and A will be low and B and C will be high.
