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. |
Driver Door Ajar Switch: This BCM input is used to determine
if the driver door is open. The BCM uses this input to perform various functions such
as chimes and interior lamp control. ON is displayed when the driver door is open.
DRL Relay: This body control module (BCM) output displays the
state of the daytime running lamps (DRL) relay. When the proper conditions are present
for the BCM to command on the DRL relay by providing ground to the relay, ON is displayed.
Fog Lamp Relay: This BCM output displays the state of the fog
lamp relay. When the proper conditions are present for the BCM to command on the fog
lamp relay by providing ground to the relay, ON is displayed.
Fog Lamp Switch: The BCM uses this input to determine if the
fog lamps have been requested on. When the fog lamps switch is pressed once, ON is
displayed on the scan tool. When the fog lamp switch is pressed again, OFF is displayed.
High Beam Feedback: This BCM input displays the state of the
high beam headlamps. When the BCM senses that the normal high beam headlamps are illuminated,
the operating voltage of the high beam headlamps is displayed. When the BCM senses
that the DRLs are active, the reduced operating voltage of the DRLs is displayed.
Inadvert. Power Output: This BCM output displays the state of
the inadvertent power relay that is internal to the BCM. The BCM uses this output
to provide battery voltage to the courtesy lamps. If the BCM senses that a lamp has
been illuminated for approximately 20 minutes after exiting the
vehicle, the BCM will turn off the inadvertent power relay to protect the battery
from run-down.
Interior Lamp Feedback: This BCM input displays the state of
the interior courtesy lamps. When the BCM senses that the lamps are on, ACTIVE is
displayed.
Low Beam Feedback: This BCM input displays the state of the
low beam headlamps. When the BCM senses that the normal low beam headlamps are illuminated,
the operating voltage of the low beam headlamps is displayed. When the BCM senses
that the DRLs are active, the reduced operating voltage of the DRLs is displayed.
Park Lamp Input: This BCM input displays the state of the park
lamps. When the BCM senses that the park lamps are illuminated, ON is displayed.
Passenger Door Ajar Switch: This BCM input is used to determine
if a passenger door is open. The BCM uses this input to perform various functions
such as chimes and interior lamp control. ON is displayed when a passenger door is
open.
