Use the Scan Tool Data Display Values and Definitions Information in
order to assist in diagnosing vehicle malfunctions. Compare the vehicles
actual scan tool data with the typical data display value table information.
Use the data information in order to aid in understanding the nature of
the problem when the vehicle does not match with the typical data display
values.
The scan tool data values were taken from a known good vehicle under
the following conditions:
• | The ignition switch is in the ON position. |
• | The engine is not running. |
• | The vehicle is in PARK. |
A/C Request: The BCM uses this input to determine the
position of the air conditioning switch. YES is displayed when a/c is requested.
Accessory: The BCM uses this data in order to determine
the position of the ignition switch. ON is displayed when the ignition switch
is in the ON or ACCY position.
Battery Voltage: This voltage value refers to the battery
system voltage.
Brake Fluid Level Switch: The BCM uses this input to
determine the position of the brake fluid level switch. ON is displayed when
a low brake fluid condition exists.
Calibration ID: This information refers to how the BCM
is calibrated. This information is for assembly plant use only.
Ignition 1: The BCM uses this data in order to
determine the position of the ignition switch. ON is displayed when the ignition
switch is in the ON or CRANK position.
Key In Ignition: This information refers to whether
or not the ignition key is inserted into the ignition switch. The BCM uses
this data to perform chime functions. ON is displayed when the key is
inserted into the ignition switch.
Last 4 Dig. of GM Part #: This information refers to
the last 4 digits of the GM BCM part number that is currently in the vehicle.
Low Coolant Level: The BCM uses this input to determine
the position of the coolant level switch. ON is displayed when a low coolant
level condition exists.
Model Year: This information refers to the model year
of the vehicle.
Panic Horn Relay: This output displays whether or not
the BCM is providing ground for the horn relay. ON is displayed when the
BCM is providing ground for the relay.
Panic Horn Relay Feedback: This input displays the state
of the horn relay. When the horn switch is pressed, ACTIVE is displayed.
Park Brake Switch: The BCM uses this input to determine
the position of the rear park brake switch. ON is displayed when the park
brake is applied.
Park (BTSI) Relay: This output displays whether or not
the BCM is providing ground for the A/T shift lock control solenoid. ON is
displayed when the BCM is providing ground for the solenoid.
Park (BTSI) Relay Feedback: This input displays the
state of the A/T shift lock control solenoid. ACTIVE is displayed when the
BCM is commanding the solenoid to lock the gear select lever.
Traction Switch: The BCM uses this input to determine
the position of the traction control switch. ON is displayed when the enhanced
traction system is active.
Year Module Built: This information refers to the year
that the BCM was built.
