The Engine Scan Tool Data Definitions contains a brief description of all engine related parameters available on the scan tool. The list is in alphabetical order. A given parameter may appear in any one of the data lists. In some cases, the parameter may appear more than once or in more than one data list in order to group certain related parameters together.

Clutch Pedal Switch: This parameter displays the state of the clutch pedal switch circuit input. The scan tool will display APPLIED when the clutch pedal is depressed, and RELEASED when the clutch pedal is released.

Current Gear: This parameter displays the transmission gear commanded by the control module. The scan tool will display 1 when the control module has commanded first gear regardless of the gear selector position. The scan tool will display up to 6 depending upon which gear is commanded and what transmission is in the vehicle. The scan tool will display 9 if the transmission gear is not known.

PNP Switch: This parameter indicates the range selection of the automatic transmission as calculated by the control module based on input from the PNP switch. The scan tool will display, In Gear, Park, or Neutral depending on the PNP switch position.

Reverse Inhibit Solenoid: This parameter displays the commanded state of the reverse inhibit solenoid. When the vehicle speed is greater than 5 km/h (3 mph), the solenoid is commanded ON, inhibiting shifts to Reverse. When the vehicle speed is less than 5 km/h (3 mph), the solenoid is commanded OFF, allowing shifts to Reverse. The scan tool will display INHIBIT/OFF.

Starter Inhibit: The scan tool displays Inhibit or Active.

TR Sw: This parameter indicates the current state of the gear select switch on the transmission/transaxle as calculated by the control module based on the TR switch. The scan tool status will switch from High to Low as different combinations are met. On the scan tool in Park, the PRNDL would read P and A will be Low, and B and C will be High.
