LR Inlet Solenoid Command | -- | Off | The scan tool displays On or Off. On is displayed when the left rear inlet valve solenoid is commanded on. |
LR Outlet Solenoid Command | -- | Off | The scan tool displays On or Off. On is displayed when the left rear outlet valve solenoid is commanded on. |
Panic Brake Assist Failed | -- | No | The scan tool displays Yes or No. The state of the panic brake assist depends on the state of traction of the tires and engine RPM. |
Pump Motor Command Voltage | -- | Varies | This displays Volts. This is the voltage status of the EBCM pump motor command. |
Requested Torque | -- | 0% | The scan tool displays 0-10%. The scan tool displays the duty cycle of the Requested Torque PWM signal. The duty cycle of the signal is used to transmit how much engine torque the EBCM is requested. |
RF Inlet Solenoid | -- | Off | The scan tool displays On or Off. On is displayed when the right front inlet valve solenoid is commanded on. |
RF Outlet Solenoid | -- | Off | The scan tool displays On or Off. On is displayed when the right front outlet valve solenoid is commanded on. |
RF Wheel Speed Sensor | -- | 0 km/h (0 mph) | This displays km/h (mph). This is the current speed of the right front wheel speed sensor. |
RR Inlet Solenoid Command | -- | Off | The scan tool displays On or Off. On is displayed when the right rear inlet valve solenoid is commanded on. |
RR Outlet Solenoid Command | -- | Off | The scan tool displays On or Off. On is displayed when the right rear outlet valve solenoid is commanded on. |
RR Wheel Speed Sensor | -- | 0 km/h (0 mph) | This displays km/h (mph). This is the current speed of the right front wheel speed sensor. |
Steering Wheel Position | -- | Varies | This displays degrees. This is the signal received from the steering angle sensor. |
TCS Active | -- | No | The scan tool displays Yes or No. This is the state of the traction control system (TCS). |
TCS Failed | -- | No | The scan tool displays Yes or No. This is the state of the traction control system (TCS). |
VSES Active | -- | No | The scan tool displays Yes or No. The scan tool displays Yes when VSES is active, and No when VSES is inactive. |
VSES Actuator Commanded | -- | Varies | This displays amps. This is the amount of current applied to the VSES actuator. |
VSES Actuator Feedback Signal | -- | Varies | This displays amps. This is the amount of current applied to the VSES actuator feedback signal. |
VSES Failed | -- | No | The scan tool will display Yes or No depending on the state of the ABS indicator. |
Yaw Rate Sensor | -- | Varies | This displays Volts. The voltage varies depending on the angle of the vehicle. |
