EGR Solenoid |
Important: The EGR Position Sensor parameter may not properly change states when using this output control. This function activates the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) solenoid that controls EGR valve position. The normal commanded state is None. The system will increase or decrease the amount of EGR opening by 10 percent increments within a range of 0-100 percent. The EGR Position sensor parameter may not change states until commanded to 40 percent. This output can also be monitored on the scan tool data parameter EGR Position Sensor. The system remains in the commanded state until cancelled by the scan tool. If the engine is running, too much EGR will result in a rough idle and/or stalling. | ||||||||||
EVAP Purge Solenoid |
Important:
This function controls the EVAP purge solenoid valve. The normal commanded state is None. The system will increase or decrease the amount of purge by changing the duty cycle of the purge valve in 10 percent increments within a range of 0-100 percent. The system remains in the commanded state until cancelled by the scan. | ||||||||||
EVAP Vent Solenoid |
Important: This function may be disabled if there is an EVAP DTC set. This function controls the EVAP vent solenoid. The normal commanded state is None. When commanded ON, the vent valve switches to Not-venting. When commanded OFF, the vent valve switches to Venting. The system remains in the commanded state unless one of the following conditions occurs:
| ||||||||||
EVAP Purge/Seal | Simultaneously activates the purge solenoid in 10 percent increments from 0 to 100 percent and the vent solenoid. The device control will be aborted and inhibited if the FTP sensor exceeds 19 mm Hg (10 in H2O). | ||||||||||
Fan High Speed | This function operates one engine cooling fan at high speed by enabling the fan high speed relay. The normal commanded state of the relay is None. When commanded ON/OFF, the cooling fan turns ON/OFF. The system remains in the commanded state until cancelled by the scan tool. The ECM allows relay control when the following conditions are met:
| ||||||||||
Fan Low Speed | This function operates one engine cooling fan at high speed by enabling the fan high speed relay. The normal commanded state of the relay is None. When commanded ON/OFF, the cooling fan turns ON/OFF. The system remains in the commanded state until cancelled by the scan tool. The ECM allows relay control when the following conditions are met:
| ||||||||||
Fuel Injector Test |
Important: DTCs may set when using this output control. This function operates the selected fuel injector ON/OFF. The normal commanded state is None. The ECM enables or disables the fuel injector ON/OFF when the test is initiated. The fuel injector remains in the commanded state until cancelled by the scan tool. The scan tool initiates the test when the following conditions are met:
| ||||||||||
Fuel Pump Relay |
Important: DTCs may set when using this output control. This function controls the fuel pump relay. The normal commanded state is None. The scan tool initiates the test when the following conditions are met:
When commanded ON/OFF, the ECM turns the fuel pump relay ON/OFF. If the engine is running and the fuel pump relay is commanded OFF, the engine will stall. This output can also be monitored on the scan tool data parameter Fuel Pump Relay Command. The system remains in the commanded state until cancelled by the scan tool or the ECM detects a vehicle speed. | ||||||||||
Engine Speed | This function controls the idle speed override in 25 RPM, 100 RPM, and 500 RPM increments, from the base idle speed to 1,400 RPM. The scan tool initiates the test when the following conditions are met:
The engine speed will remain in the commanded state until cancelled by the scan tool. | ||||||||||
IAC Motor Position | This function activates the idle air control (IAC) valve to change engine speed. The normal commanded state is None. The system will increase or decrease the amount of IAC opening by 5 percent increments within a range of 500-4,000 RPM. This output can also be monitored on the scan tool data parameter IAC Position. The system remains in the commanded state until cancelled by the tool. | ||||||||||
IAC Reset | This function resets the IAC valve position and the learned values for the IAC system in the ECM. | ||||||||||
IMT Valve | This function controls the intake manifold tuning (IMT) valve solenoid. The normal commanded state is None. When commanded ON/OFF, the ECM turns the IMT valve solenoid ON/OFF. The scan tool initiates the test when the following conditions are met:
The system remains in the commanded state until cancelled by the scan tool. | ||||||||||
Malfunction Indicator Lamp |
Important: The MIL Command parameter may not change states when using this output control. This function controls the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). The normal commanded state is None. When commanded ON/OFF, the ECM turns the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) ON/OFF. This output can also be monitored on the scan tool data parameter MIL Command. The system remains in the commanded state until cancelled by the scan tool. | ||||||||||
Throttle Position | This function controls the throttle valve in 10 percent increments. The scan tool initiates the test when the following conditions are met:
The system remains in the commanded state until cancelled by the scan tool. |
