ECT: Scan tool displays -40°C-+151°C (-40°F-+304°F).
The engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor is mounted in the coolant stream.
The PCM applies 5 volts to the ECT sensor circuit. The sensor
is a thermistor which changes the internal resistance as the temperature
changes. When the sensor is cold and the internal resistance is high,
the PCM monitors a high signal voltage and interprets it as a cold engine.
As the sensor warms and the internal resistance decreases, the voltage
signal decreases and the PCM interprets the lower voltage as a warm
engine.
EGR Closed Valve Pintle Position: Scan tool displays 0.0-5.0 volts. Represents the learned
voltage that the PCM uses to determine whether or not the EGR valve is fully
closed and is at 0 percent pintle position. If the Desired EGR Position

of samples allowed is 1 during normal operation. If the PCM
battery feed has been disconnected or a DTC P0401 has been cleared,
several EGR flow test samples will be allowed during the next ignition
cycle. This is to allow repair verification during a single ignition
cycle.
EGR Position Error: Scan tool displays 0-100 percent. Indicates the difference
between Desired EGR Position and Actual EGR Position currently being monitored
by the PCM. If the EGR Position Error reaches an unacceptable
level, DTC P1406 will set.

the engine speed and the MAF sensor readings. A plot of RPM vs. MAF is divided
into 10 cells. The fuel trim cell indicates which cell is currently
active.
Fuel Trim Learn: Scan tool displays YES or NO. When conditions are appropriate for
enabling long term fuel trim corrections, FUEL TRIM LEARN will display YES.
This indicates that the long term fuel trim is responding to
short term fuel trim. If the Fuel Trim Learn displays NO, long term fuel
trim will not respond to changes in short term fuel trim.
Generator PWM: Scan tool displays 0-100 percent.
Hot Mode: Scan tool displays ON or OFF. ON indicates that the PCM has detected
a condition appropriate for Transaxle Hot mode operation. The PCM determines
this condition based on the transaxle fluid temperature. While in Hot mode,
transaxle shift points may be altered, fourth gear is disabled, and the
torque converter clutch (TCC) is forced ON in second gear.
Hot Open Loop: Scan tool displays Active or Inactive.
HO2S Sensor 1: Scan tool displays READY or NOT READY. Indicates the status of
the exhaust oxygen sensor. The scan tool will indicate that the exhaust
oxygen sensor is ready when the PCM detects a fluctuating HO2S voltage
sufficient in order to allow Closed Loop operation. This will not occur
unless the exhaust oxygen sensor is warmed up.
HO2S Sensor 1: Scan tool displays 0-111 mV. Indicates the exhaust
oxygen sensor output voltage. While operating in Closed Loop, the voltage
should constantly fluctuate from 10 mV, indicating a lean exhaust,
to 1000 mV.
HO2S Sensor 2 : Scan tool displays 0-111 mV . Indicates the exhaust
oxygen sensor output voltage. Voltage should stay within a limited range when
the catalytic converter and HO2S are at operating temperature, indicating
an efficiently operating catalyst.
HO2S XCounts: Scan tool displays 0-255. Indicates the number of times the
HO2S 1 signal has crossed the 450 mV bias voltage during a 1-second
interval. A HO2S 1 signal that almost never crosses the
bias voltage could indicate a fuel trim problem, a faulty HO2S 1
circuit, or a faulty HO2S 1.
IAT: Scan tool displays -40°C+151°C (-40°F-+304°F).
The PCM converts the resistance of the intake air temperature sensor to degrees.
The PCM uses intake air temperature (IAT) in order to adjust the fuel delivery
and the spark timing according to the incoming air density. IAT is also
compared to ECT at start-up in order to identify cold starts for the
HO2S heater and the EVAP diagnostics.
Ignition 1: Scan tool displays 0-25.5 volts. Represents the system
voltage measured by the PCM at its ignition feed.
Ignition Mode: Scan tool displays BYPASS or IC. Indicates the commanded state
of the Bypass signal output from the PCM. When BYPASS is displayed, the ignition
control (IC) module is controlling the spark advance at a fixed 10 degrees
before top dead center (BTDC) . IC displayed indicates that the PCM has
requested control of the spark advance . The ignition control module
determines the correct operating mode based on the level of voltage
that the PCM applies to the ignition control module bypass circuit.
The PCM provides 5 volts to the ignition control module bypass
circuit when the conditions are appropriate for PCM control of the spark
timing. This represents IC mode. If the PCM does not apply 5 volts
to the bypass circuit, or if the ignition control module does not receive
it, the module will control spark timing. This represents BYPASS mode.
Injector Pulse Width: Scan tool displays 0-1000 msec. Indicates the amount of
time the PCM is commanding each injector ON during each engine cycle. A longer
injector pulse width will cause more fuel to be delivered. Injector
pulse width should increase with increased engine load.
Knock Retard: Scan tool displays 0.0-25.5 degrees. Indicates the
amount of spark the PCM is removing from IC spark advance in response to the
signal from the knock sensors. The traction control system Desired Torque
signal from the EBTCM may cause Knock Retard to display a value more
than 0.0 degrees if the traction control is active.
Long Term Fuel Trim: Scan tool displays -25-+20 percent. Long Term Fuel Trim is
derived from the Short Term Fuel Trim value and represents a long-term correction
of fuel delivery. A value of 0 percent indicates that
fuel delivery requires no compensation in order to maintain the PCM commanded
air-to-fuel ratio. A negative value significantly below 0 percent
indicates that the fuel system is rich and the fuel delivery is being
reduced. This condition is represented by a decreased injector pulse width.
A positive value significantly more than 0 percent indicates
that a lean condition exists and the PCM is compensating by adding
fuel. This represents an increased injector pulse width. Because Long
Term Fuel Trim tends to follow Short Term Fuel Trim, a value in
the negative range due to canister purge at idle should not
be considered unusual. The maximum authority of the PCM to control
long term fuel trim allows a range of -27-+27 percent. Fuel trim
values at or near the maximum authority may indicate an excessively
rich or lean system.
Loop Status: Scan tool displays OPEN or CLOSED. Closed Loop indicates that
the PCM is controlling fuel delivery according to oxygen sensor voltage. In
Open Loop, the PCM ignores the oxygen sensor voltage and bases
the amount of fuel to be delivered on throttle position (TP) sensor,
the engine coolant, and MAF sensor inputs only.
MAF: Scan tool displays 0.0-512 g/s. Mass Air Flow (MAF) is the MAF
Input Frequency converted to grams of air per second. This indicates the amount
of air entering the engine.
MAF Frequency: Scan tool displays 0-32000 Hz. The mass air flow sensor
input signal to the PCM is a frequency which varies from approximately 3000 Hz
at idle to more than 7000 Hz at wide-open throttle. The PCM converts
this frequency signal to grams per second. The signal is displayed on the
scan tool as MAF.
MAP: Scan tool displays 10-105 kPa and 0.00-5.00 volts.
The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor measures the change in the intake
manifold pressure from the engine load, the EGR flow, and the speed changes.
As the intake manifold pressure increases, the intake vacuum decreases,
resulting in a higher MAP sensor voltage and kPa reading. The MAP sensor
signal is used in order to monitor the intake manifold pressure changes
during the EGR flow test, to update the BARO reading, and as an enabling
factor for many of the diagnostics.
MIL: IPC Data List -- Scan tool displays ON or OFF. Indicates the
PCM commanded state of the malfunction indicator lamp.
MIL: ODD Data List -- Scan tool displays OK, Fault or Invalid State.
These parameters describe the condition of the control circuit.
Misfire Current Cyl 1-6: Scan tool displays 0-198 Counts. The Misfire Current counters
indicate the number of cylinder firing events detected as possible misfires
on each cylinder during the last 200 crankshaft revolutions.
The number that the counters display are twice the actual number of
misfire events that are detected. The counters may normally display some
activity, but the activity should be very low and nearly equal for
all cylinders.
Misfire History Cyl 1-6: Scan tool displays 0-65535 counts. The Misfire History counters
indicate the total level of misfire that has been detected on each cylinder.
The number that the counters display are twice the actual number of
misfire events detected. The Misfire History counters will not update
or show any activity until a misfire DTC P0300 has become active.
The Misfire History counters will be updated every time a 200-crankshaft
revolution misfire test failure is detected.
Non Volatile Memory: Scan tool displays Pass or Fail. This indicates the state of the
random access memory (RAM) of the PCM.
Power Enrichment: Scan tool displays ACTIVE or INACTIVE. ACTIVE displayed indicates
that the PCM has detected conditions appropriate to operate in Power Enrichment
mode. The PCM will command Power Enrichment mode when a large increase
in the throttle position and the engine load is detected. While in Power
Enrichment, the PCM will increase the amount of fuel delivered
by entering Open Loop and increasing the injector pulse width. This
is done to in order prevent a possible sag or hesitation from occurring
during acceleration.
Reduced Engine Power: Scan tool displays ACTIVE or INACTIVE. The scan tool displays Active
when the PCM has diagnosed a ETC problem or during drivetrain abuse protection.
The PCM limits the engine power.
Short Term Fuel Trim : Scan tool displays -27-+27 percent. Short Term Fuel Trim
represents a short-term correction to the fuel delivery by the PCM in response
to the amount of time the fuel control oxygen sensor voltage
spends above or below the 450 mV threshold. If the oxygen
sensor voltage has mainly remained less than 450 mV, indicating
a lean air-to-fuel mixture, the short term fuel trim will increase
into the positive range above 0 percent and the PCM will
add fuel. If the oxygen sensor voltage stays mainly above the threshold,
the short term fuel trim will decrease below 0 percent into
the negative range while the PCM reduces fuel delivery in order
to compensate for the indicated rich condition. Under certain
conditions such as extended idle and high ambient temperatures,
canister purge may cause Short Term Fuel Trim to read in the negative
range during normal operation. The maximum authority of the PCM
to control the fuel trim allows a range of -27-+27 percent. Fuel
trim values at maximum authority may indicate an excessively rich
or lean system.
Spark: Scan tool displays -64-+64 degrees. Displays the spark timing
being commanded by the PCM on the IC circuit. A negative (-) value
indicates degrees Before Top Dead Center (BTDC) or spark advance.
A positive value indicates degrees After Top Dead Center (ATDC)
or spark retard. Because the ignition control module sets spark
advance at a fixed value of 10 degrees BTDC while operating
in Bypass mode, the displayed Spark advance only reflects true
spark timing when the PCM has commanded IC mode.
Start-Up ECT: Scan tool displays -40°C-+151°C ( -40°F-+304°F).
Indicates the engine coolant temperature at the time that the vehicle was
started. Used by the HO2S diagnostic in order to determine if the last
startup was a cold start.
Start-Up IAT: Scan tool displays -40°C-+151°C (-40°F-+304°F).
Indicates the Intake Air Temperature at the time that the vehicle was started.
Used by the HO2S diagnostic in order to determine if the last start-up was
a cold start.

firing events that were detected as being misfires during the last 200-crankshaft
revolution sample period.
Total Misfire Failures Since First Fail: Scan tool displays 0-65535 Counts. Indicates the number of
200-crankshaft revolution sample periods during which the level of misfire
was sufficiently high to report a failure.
Total Misfire Passes Since First Fail: Scan tool displays 0 to 65535 Counts. Indicates the number of 200-crankshaft
revolution sample periods during which the level of misfire was
sufficiently low to report a pass.
TP Angle: Scan tool displays 0-100 percent. Indicates throttle
plate position.
Traction Control: Scan tool displays ACTIVE or INACTIVE. Active will be displayed
if a message is received from the electronic brake and traction control module
(EBTCM) requesting torque reduction.
Traction Control Desired Torque: Scan tool range 0-100 percent. Represents the pulse width
modulation (PWM) signal from the electronic brake and traction control module.
The EBTCM reduces the Traction Control Desired Torque signal pulse
width when a drive wheel slippage situation is detected. The PCM
monitors the Traction Control Desired Torque signal and reduces the
drive wheel slippage as necessary by retarding the spark timing, or by increasing
the air-to-fuel ratio. The PCM can also turn OFF up to three fuel
injectors if the Traction Control Desired Torque signal indicates
enough drive wheel slippage. A problem with the Traction Control
Desired Torque signal should cause a DTC to set.
Traction Control Torque: Scan tool range 0-100 percent. Represents the PWM signal
which indicates the percent of available torque the engine is delivering to
the drive wheels. The EBTCM monitors the Traction Control Torque signal
in order to ensure that the PCM is responding properly to the Traction
Control Desired Torque signal.
Transmission Range: Scan tool displays INVALID, PARK/NEUTRAL, REVERSE, DRIVE 4,
DRIVE 3, DRIVE 2, or LOW. Transmission Range represents the
decoded status of the four inputs from the transaxle range switch assembly.
The combination of transaxle range inputs indicates the position of the
transaxle manual valve.
TR Switch A/B/C/P: Scan Tool Displays HIGH or LOW. The Transmission Range (TR) Switch
A/B/C/P display represents the states of the four inputs from the transaxle
range switch. HIGH displayed indicates a B+ voltage signal being
monitored at the PCM. LOW displayed indicates a grounded input signal.
The combination of transaxle range inputs indicates the position
of the transaxle manual valve.
TWC Protection: Scan tool displays ACTIVE or INACTIVE. ACTIVE displayed indicates
that the PCM has detected conditions appropriate to operate in Three-Way Catalytic
Converter (TWC) Protection mode. This is determined based on the engine
load and the engine coolant temperature. While in TWC Protection, the
PCM will decrease the air-to-fuel to a value that depends on mass air
flow. Higher mass air flow equals a lower air-to-fuel ratio.
Vehicle Speed: Scan tool displays 0-255 km/h (0-155 mph). The vehicle speed
sensor signal is converted into mph and km/h for display.
VTD Fuel Disable: Scan tool displays ACTIVE or INACTIVE. The Theft Deterrent Fuel
Enable circuit is an input from the Vehicle Theft Deterrent Control system
that signals the PCM in order to enable the injectors if the proper signal
is received. The scan tool will normally display INACTIVE. If the Vehicle
Theft Deterrent Control system does not send the correct Theft Deterrent
Fuel Enable signal to the PCM, the display will switch to ACTIVE and
the fuel system may be disabled.
