Torque Delivered Signal: 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
to ensure that the PCM is responding properly to the Traction Control Desired Torque signal.
Torque Request Signal: Scan tool range 0-100 percent. Represents the 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 drive wheel slippage as necessary by retarding spark timing, decreasing boost sol. PWM, or increasing air/fuel ratio. The PCM can also turn OFF up to three fuel injectors
if the Traction Control Desired Torque signal indicates a large enough amount of drive wheel slippage.
Total Misfire Count: The scan tool range is 0-255 counts. This parameter indicates the total level of misfire that has been detected on each cylinder. The misfire history counters will not update or show any activity until
a misfire or DTC P0300 has become active. The misfire history counter will update every 200 cylinder firing events.
