The short term fuel trim cells are rated (Weighted) for the amount of which they are used. For example, the PCM rates an idle cell higher then a wide open cell. If a fueling malfunction occurs in the idle cell and the wide open cell, the idle cell would affect more than then the wide open cell. A negative value significantly below 0 percent indicates that the fuel system is rich and the PCM is reducing the fuel delivery (decreased injector pulse width). A positive value significantly greater than 0 percent indicates that a lean condition exists and the PCM is compensating by adding fuel (increased injector pulse width). When the average of the cells reach a predetermined high or low, a fuel trim DTC sets.

Short Term FT Bank 1 and 2: The scan tool displays Percentage. The Short Term Fuel Trim represents a short-term correction to fuel delivery by the PCM in response to the amount of time the fuel control oxygen sensor voltage spends above or below the 450 mV threshold. If the oxygen sensor voltage averages less than 450 mV, indicating a lean air/fuel mixture, short term fuel trim increases into the positive range above 0 percent. The PCM adds fuel. If the oxygen sensor voltage averages above the 450 mV threshold, the short term fuel trim decreases below 0 percent into the negative range. The PCM reduces the fuel delivery in order to compensate for the indicated rich condition. Under certain conditions such as an extended idle and a high ambient temperature, the canister purge may cause the Short Term Fuel Trim to read in the negative range during normal operation. The Fuel trim values at maximum authority may indicate an excessively rich or lean system.

VTD Auto Learn Timer: The scan tool displays Active or Inactive. The auto learn timer is the indication if the Vehicle Theft Deterrent (VTD) system is in the learn mode and has not timed out (10 minutes).

VTD Fuel Disable: The scan tool displays Active or Inactive. If the PCM has not received the correct password from the Body Control Module (BCM), the PCM will disable the fuel system, and Active will be displayed on the scan tool. The scan tool displays Inactive under normal running conditions.

VTD Fuel Disable Until Ignition Off: The scan tool displays Yes or No. With the ignition On and a VTD code present the scan tool displays YES. With ignition Off the scan tool displays NO.

Warm Ups w/o Emis. Faults: Scan Tool Range 0-255. This parameter counts the number of warm up cycles without an emission fault present. The counter increments to 255 and resets to 0 unless a fault occurs. If a fault occurs, the counter reverts back to 0 until the fault is corrected. Clearing the information with a scan tool or a loss of power to the PCM also resets the counter to 0.

Warm Ups w/o Non-Emis. Faults: Scan Tool Range 0-255. This parameter counts the number of warm up cycles without a non-emission fault present. The counter increments to 255 and resets to 0 unless a fault occurs. If a fault occurs, the counter reverts back to 0 until the fault is corrected. Clearing information with a scan tool or a loss of power to the PCM also resets the counter to 0.
