voltage to the TAC module, that signal is then sent to the PCM across
serial data. When the Set/Coast switch is released the scan tool displays
OFF.
Cruise Switch: Scan tool displays ON or OFF. When you activate the cruise control
switch, the scan tool displays ON. The switch, when in the ON position,
sends a signal voltage to the TAC module, that signal is then sent to

Mode. The PCM will command deceleration fuel mode when a sudden
decrease in throttle position has been detected while the vehicle
is traveling over 25 mph. While in Deceleration Fuel mode, the
PCM will decrease the amount of fuel delivered by entering Open
Loop and decreasing the injector pulse width.

ECT: Scan tool displays -40°C to 151°C, -40°F to 304°F.
The engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor is mounted in the coolant stream.
The PCM applies 5 volts to the ECT sensor circuit. The
sensor is a thermistor which changes internal resistance as temperature
changes. When the sensor is cold (internal resistance high),
the PCM monitors a high signal voltage and interprets it as a
cold engine. As the sensor warms (internal resistance decreases),
the voltage signal decreases and the PCM interprets the lower
voltage as a warm engine.
EGR Closed Valve Pintle Position: Scan tool displays 0.0 to 5.0 volts. Represents the learned voltage
that the PCM uses to determine whether or not the EGR valve is fully closed
(0 percent pintle position). If the Desired EGR Position is 0

samples collected during the current ignition cycle. The maximum number of
samples allowed is 1 during normal operation. If the PCM battery
feed has been disconnected or a DTC P0401 has been cleared, several
EGR flow test samples will be allowed during the next ignition
cycle. This is to allow repair verification during a single ignition
cycle.
EGR Position Error: Scan tool displays 0 percent to 100 percent. Indicates the difference
between Desired EGR Position and Actual EGR Position currently being monitored
by the PCM. If the EGR Position Error reaches an unacceptable
level, DTC P1406 will set.
Engine Load: Scan tool displays 0 percent to 100 percent. Engine load is calculated
by the PCM from engine speed and MAF sensor readings. Engine load should increase
with an increase in RPM or air flow.
Engine Run Time: Scan tool displays 00:00:00 to 99:99:99 Hrs:Min:Sec. Indicates
the time elapsed since the engine was started. If the engine is stopped, ENGINE
RUN TIME will be reset to 00:00:00.
Engine Speed: Scan tool displays 0 to 9999 RPM. Engine speed is computed by the
PCM from the 3X reference input. It should remain close to desired idle under
various engine loads with engine idling
EVAP Canister Purge: Scan tool displays 0 percent to 100 percent Represents the PCM
commanded PWM duty cycle of the EVAP Purge valve. 0 percent displayed indicates
no purge; 100 percent displayed indicates full purge.

speed and MAF sensor readings. A plot of RPM vs. MAF is divided into 10 cells.
Fuel trim cell indicates which cell is currently active.
Fuel Trim Learn: Scan tool displays YES or NO. When conditions are appropriate for
enabling long term fuel trim corrections, FUEL TRIM LEARN will display yes.
This indicates that the long term fuel trim is responding to
short term fuel trim. If the Fuel Trim Learn displays NO, long
term fuel trim will not respond to changes in short term fuel
trim.
HO2S Bank 1 Sen. 1 / Bank 2 Sen. 1: Scan tool displays READY or NOT READY. Indicates the status of
the fuel control exhaust oxygen sensor. The scan tool will indicate that the
exhaust oxygen sensors are ready when the PCM detects a fluctuating
HO2S voltage sufficient to allow closed loop operation. This
will not occur unless the exhaust oxygen sensors are warmed up.
HO2S Bank 1 Sen. 1 / Bank 2 Sen. 1 / Bank 1 Sen. 2: Scan tool displays 0 to 1132 mV. Represents the fuel control exhaust
oxygen sensor output voltage. Should fluctuate constantly within a range between
10 mV (lean exhaust) and 1000 mV (rich exhaust) while
operating in Closed Loop.
HO2S Warm-Up Sensor Bank 1 Sen. 1 / Bank 2 Sen. 1 / Bank 1 Sen. 2: Scan tool displays 00:00 to 99:99 MIN:SEC. Indicates time to warm-up
for each HO2S. The HO2S warm up time is used for the HO2S heater test. The
PCM will run the heater test only after a cold start (determined
by engine coolant and intake air temperature at the time of startup)
and only once during an ignition cycle. When the engine is started
the PCM will monitor the HO2S voltage. When the HO2S voltage
indicates a sufficiently active sensor, the PCM looks at how
much time has elapsed since startup. If the PCM determines that
too much time was required for the HO2S to become active, a DTC
will set. If the engine was warm when started, HO2S Warm-Up will
display the value that was stored last time the test ran. If info
has been cleared, HO2S Warm-Up will display 00:00.
HO2S XCounts Bank 1 / Bank 2: Scan tool displays 0 to 255. Indicates the number of times the
HO2S 1 signal has crossed the 450 mV bias voltage during a 1 second interval.
A HO2S 1 signal that almost never crosses the bias voltage could
indicate a fuel trim problem, a faulty HO2S 1 circuit, or a faulty
HO2S 1.
IAT: Scan tool displays -40°C to 151°C, -40°F to 304°F.
The PCM converts the resistance of the intake air temperature sensor to degrees.
The PCM uses Intake air temperature (IAT) to adjust fuel delivery
and spark timing according to incoming air density. IAT is also
compared to ECT at startup to identify cold starts for the HO2S
heater and the EVAP diagnostics.
Ignition 1: Scan tool displays 0 to 25.5 volts. Represents the system voltage
measured by the PCM at its ignition feed.
Ignition Mode: Scan tool displays BYPASS or IC. Indicates the commanded state
of the Bypass signal output from the PCM. When BYPASS is displayed, the ignition
control module is controlling the spark advance at a fixed 10
degrees BTDC (Bypass mode). IC displayed indicates that the PCM
has requested control of the spark advance (IC mode). The ignition
control module determines the correct operating mode based on
the level of voltage that the PCM applies to the ignition control
module bypass circuit. The PCM provides 5 volts to the ignition
control module bypass circuit when conditions are appropriate
for PCM control of spark timing (IC mode). If the PCM does not
apply 5 volts to the bypass circuit, or if the ignition control
module does not receive it, the module will control spark timing.
Injector Pulse Width: Scan tool displays 0 to 1000 msec. Indicates the amount
of time the PCM is commanding each injector ON during each engine cycle. A
longer injector pulse width will cause more fuel to be delivered.
Injector Pulse Width should increase with increased engine load.
Knock Retard: Scan tool displays 0.0 degrees to 25.5 degrees. Indicates the amount
of spark the PCM is removing from IC spark advance in response to the signal
from the knock sensors. The Traction Control system Desired Torque
signal from the EBTCM may cause knock retard to display a value
greater than 0.0 degrees if Traction Control is active.
Long Term Fuel Trim Bank 1 / Bank 2: Scan tool displays -23 percent to 16 percent.Long Term Fuel Trim
is derived from the Short Term Fuel Trim value and represents a long-term
correction of fuel delivery. A value of 0 percent indicates that
fuel delivery requires no compensation to maintain the PCM commanded
air/fuel ratio. A negative value significantly below 0 percent
indicates that the fuel system is rich and fuel delivery is being
reduced (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). Because Long Term Fuel Trim tends to follow Short
Term Fuel Trim; a value in the negative range due to canister
purge at idle should not be considered unusual. The PCMs maximum
authority to control long term fuel trim allows a range between
-23 percent and +16 percent. Fuel trim values at or near maximum authority
may indicate an excessively rich or lean system.
Loop Status: Scan tool displays OPEN or CLOSED. Closed Loop indicates that
the PCM is controlling fuel delivery according to oxygen sensor voltage. In
Open Loop, the PCM ignores the oxygen sensor voltage and bases
the amount of fuel to be delivered on TP sensor, engine coolant,
and MAF sensor inputs only.
MAF: Scan tool displays 0.0-512 g/s. Mass air flow (MAF) is the MAF
Input Frequency converted to grams of air per second. This indicates the amount
of air entering the engine.
MAF Frequency: Scan tool displays 0 to 32000 Hz. The mass air flow sensor
input signal to the PCM is a frequency which varies from around 3000 Hz
at idle to above 7000 Hz at wide-open throttle. The PCM
converts this frequency signal to grams per second to be displayed
on the scan tool as MAF.
MAP: Scan tool displays 10-105 kPa/0.00 to 4.97 volts.
The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor measures the change in the intake
manifold pressure from engine load, EGR flow, and speed changes.
As intake manifold pressure increases, intake vacuum decreases
resulting in a higher MAP sensor voltage and kPa reading. The
MAP sensor signal is used to monitor intake manifold pressure
changes during the EGR flow test, to update the BARO reading,
and as an enabling factor for many of the diagnostics.
MIL: Listed in Eng 2 Data list - Scan tool displays ON or OFF. Indicates
the PCM commanded state of the malfunction indicator lamp.
MIL: Scan tool displays OK, Fault or Invalid state. These parameters
describe the condition of the control circuit.
Misfire Current Cyl 1-6: Scan tool displays 0 to 198 Counts. The Misfire Current counters
indicate the number of cylinder firing events detected as possible misfires
on each cylinder during the last 200 crankshaft revolutions.
The number that the counters display are twice the actual number
of misfire events detected. The counters may normally display
some activity, but the activity should be very low and nearly
equal for all the cylinders.
Misfire History Cyl 1-6: Scan tool displays 0 to 65535 Counts. The Misfire History counters
indicate the total level of misfire that has been detected on each cylinder.
The number that the counters display are twice the actual number
of misfire events detected. The Misfire History counters will
not update or show any activity until a misfire DTC (P0300) has
become active. The Misfire History counters will be updated every
time a 200 crankshaft revolution misfire test failure is detected.
Misfiring Cylinder (Primary) / Misfiring Cylinder (Secondary): Scan tool displays 0 or Cylinder #. If a misfire is being detected,
Misfiring Cylinder displays the misfiring cylinder numbers.
Power Enrichment: Scan tool displays ACTIVE or INACTIVE. ACTIVE displayed indicates
that the PCM has detected conditions appropriate to operate in Power Enrichment
mode. The PCM will command Power Enrichment mode when a large
increase in throttle position and load is detected. While in
Power Enrichment, the PCM will increase the amount of fuel delivered
by entering Open Loop and increasing the injector pulse width.
This is done to prevent a possible sag or hesitation from occurring
during acceleration.
Reduced Engine Power: Scan tool displays ACTIVE or INACTIVE. The scan tool displays Active
when the PCM has diagnosed a ETC problem or during drivetrain abuse protection.
The PCM limits the engine power.
Rich/Lean Bank 1 / Bank 2: Scan tool displays RICH or LEAN. Indicates whether oxygen sensor
voltage is greater than a 600 mV threshold voltage (rich) or less than a 300
mV threshold voltage (lean). Should change constantly while in
closed loop, indicating that the PCM is controlling the air/fuel
mixture properly.
Short Term Fuel Trim Bank 1 / Bank 2: Scan tool displays -11percent to 20 percent. 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 has mainly remained less than 450 mV, indicating
a lean air/fuel mixture, short term fuel trim will increase into
the positive range above 0 percent and the PCM will add fuel.
If the oxygen sensor voltage stays mainly above the threshold,
short term fuel trim will decrease below 0 percent into the negative
range while the PCM reduces fuel delivery to compensate for the
indicated rich condition. Under certain conditions such as extended
idle and high ambient temperatures, canister purge may cause
Short Term Fuel Trim to read in the negative range during normal
operation. The PCMs maximum authority to control fuel trim allows
a range between -11 percent and +20 percent. Fuel trim values at maximum
authority may indicate an excessively rich or lean system.
Spark: Scan tool displays -64 degrees to 64 degrees. Displays the spark
timing being commanded by the PCM on the IC circuit. A negative (-) value
indicates degrees Before Top Dead Center (BTDC) or spark advance;
a positive value indicates degrees After Top Dead Center (ATDC)
or spark retard. Because the ignition control module sets spark
advance at a fixed value of 10° BTDC while operating in Bypass
mode, the displayed Spark advance only reflects true spark timing
when the PCM has commanded IC mode.
Starter Enable Relay: Scan tool displays OK, Fault or Invalid state. These parameters
describe the condition of the control circuit.

Indicates the intake air temperature at the time that the vehicle was started.
Used by the HO2S diagnostic to determine if the last startup
was a cold start.
TAC Brake Switch: Scan tool displays APPLIED or RELEASED. Indicates the brake pedal
position. When the brake pedal is depressed a signal voltage is sent to the
TAC module, that signal is then sent to the PCM across serial data. If
a fault occurs on this circuit known as the Stoplamp Switch CIrcuit, a P1574
will set.
TAC/PCM Communication: Scan tool displays OK or FAULT. If the communication between the
TAC module and the PCM is interrupted the scan tool displays FAULT. The
scan tool displays OK under the normal operating conditions.

the amount of throttle opening in percentage. Closed throttle displays
0 percent and wide open throttle displays near 100 percent.
TP Sensors Disagree: Scan tool displays YES or NO. When the TAC module receives a signal
voltage from one of the throttle position sensors not in proper relationship
to the other, the scan tool displays YES. The scan tool displays
NO under normal operating conditions.
TP Sensor 1 Out of Range: Scan tool displays YES or NO. If the TAC module detects that the
voltage is below .37 volts at closed throttle or above 4.7 volts at wide
open throttle, the scan tool displays YES. If the voltages are
within specifications, the scan tool displays NO.
TP Sensor 2 Out of Range: Scan tool displays YES or NO. If the TAC module detects that the
voltage is below .37 volts or at closed throttle or above 4.7 volts at
wide open throttle, the scan tool displays YES. If the voltages are
within specifications, the scan tool displays NO.

if a message is received from the EBTCM requesting torque reduction.
Traction Control Desired Torque: Scan tool range 0 percent to 100 percent. Represents the PWM signal
from the electronic brake and traction control module. The EBTCM reduces the
Traction Control Desired Torque signal pulse width when a drive wheel
slippage situation is detected. The PCM monitors the Traction Control
Desired Torque signal and reduces drive wheel slippage as necessary
by retarding spark timing, or increasing air/fuel ratio. The PCM can
also turn OFF up to three fuel injectors if the Traction Control Desired
Torque signal indicates a large enough amount of drive wheel slippage.
A problem with the Traction Control Desired Torque signal should cause
a DTC to set.
Traction Control Torque: Scan tool range 0 percent to 100 percent. Represents the PWM signal
which indicates the percent of available torque the engine is delivering to
the drive wheels. The EBTCM monitors the Traction Control Torque signal
to ensure that the PCM is responding properly to the Traction Control
Desired Torque signal.
Transmission Range: Scan tool displays INVALID, PARK/NEUTRAL, REVERSE, DRIVE 4, DRIVE
3, DRIVE 2, or LOW. Transmission Range represents the decoded status of the
four inputs from the Transaxle Range Switch Assembly. The combination
of transaxle range inputs indicates the position of the transaxle
manual valve.

represents the states of the four inputs from the transaxle range switch.
HIGH displayed indicates a B+ voltage signal being monitored
at the PCM, LOW displayed indicates a grounded input signal.
The combination of transaxle range inputs indicates the position
of the transaxle manual valve.
TWC Protection: Scan tool displays ACTIVE or INACTIVE. ACTIVE displayed indicates
that the PCM has detected conditions appropriate to operate in TWC Protection
mode. This is determined based on engine load and engine coolant
temperature. While in TWC Protection, the PCM will decrease Air/Fuel
Ratio to a value that depends on mass air flow (higher Mass Airflow
= lower Air/Fuel Ratio).
Vehicle Speed: Scan tool displays 0-255 km/h, 0-155 mph. The vehicle speed
sensor signal is converted into mph and km/h for display.
VTD Fuel Disable: Scan tool displays ACTIVE or INACTIVE. The Theft Deterrent Fuel
Enable circuit is an input from the vehicle theft deterrent control module
that signals the PCM to enable the injectors if the proper signal
is received. The scan tool will normally display INACTIVE. If
the vehicle theft deterrent control module does not sent the correct
Theft Deterrent Fuel Enable signal to the PCM, the display will
switch to ACTIVE and the fuel system may be disabled. Refer to
DTCs P1626, P1629, or Vehicle Theft Deterrent diagnosis for further
information.
