Total Misfire Passes Since First Fail: Display shows counts from 0 to 65535. The Misfire Passes counter shows the relative number of passed misfire tests since P0300 went active.

TP Angle: Display shows throttle angle in percent. Display is computed by the PCM from TP Sensor voltage. Display should read 0% at idle, 100% at wide open throttle (WOT).

TP Normalized: Display shows percent and degrees from 0 to 100 percent and 0.0 to 81.6 degrees. The PCM will compensate for deposits in the throttle body by learning the closed throttle position as zero percent and zero degrees.

TP Sensor: Display shows the amount of throttle opening in volts, with closed throttle near 0 volts and wide open throttle above 4.0 volts.

Display shows a value from -6.5 to +6.5 degrees. This display indicates the amount the TP sensor has been corrected to obtain the TP Normalized value of 0 degrees. The TP sensor is not physically adjustable. In order to compensate for manufacturing tolerances and also for throttle body bore deposit buildup the PCM will adjust the TP Normalized value using this correction factor. At key ON the PCM will slightly decrease this value in order to ensure that the throttle is at rest. If the throttle is at rest the slight decrease will be learned out. Refer to DTC P1524 Throttle Closed Position Performance . When DTC P1524 fails this value is set to 0 degrees.

Traction Control: Display shows Inactive or Active. Display will show Active if the PCM receives a signal from the Electronic Brake and Traction Control Module, EBTCM, requesting torque reduction during a traction control maneuver.

Traction Control Torque: Display shows percent from 0 to 100. This is the calculated torque output from the engine to the transaxle used by the EBTCM for traction control system operation.

Trans. Oil Life: Display shows Transaxle Oil Life in percent from 0 to 100. This display represents the Transaxle Oil Life Index that is calculated and maintained by the PCM.

TWC Stage 1 Started: The display shows No or Yes. This display indicates that the first air/fuel transition of the idle catalyst test (P0420) is in progess.

TWC Stage 2 Started: The display shows No or Yes. This display indicates that the second air/fuel transition of the idle catalyst test (P0420) is in progess.

TWC Test Enabled: The display shows No or Yes. This display indicates the Idle Catalyst Test (P0420) has started to run. There is a 5 second delay between the TWC Test Initilization Conditions Met and the idle catalyst test being enabled.

TWC Test Initialization Conditions Met: Display shows No or Yes. This display says that the idle conditions required to test the catalyst are met.

Vehicle Speed: Display shows vehicle speed in mph and km/h from 0 to 159 mph (0 to 255 km/h). The vehicle speed is converted into mph and km/h for display.

Vehicle Speed Driver: Display shows OK, Open/Short, Over Current. The PCM monitors output driver (ODM) A output #2 for an open or shorted condition if one of the conditions exists the fault line will go low. The scan tool will display the condition that is present.
