The following scan tool data definitions describe 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.1-2 Sol.: The scan tool displays OK or Fault. This parameter indicates the state of the driver circuit for this device.
2-3 Sol.: The scan tool displays OK or Fault. This parameter indicates the state of the driver circuit for this device.
24X Crank Sensor (Data): The scan tool displays 0-1750 RPM. This parameter is engine RPM calculated from crankshaft position (CKP) sensor data. Due to the resolution of the signal, this data is limited to the idle RPM range.
A/C High Side Pressure: The scan tool displays 0-5 volts. This parameter represents the A/C refrigerant pressure sensor signal. The amount of pressure indicates the amount of load that the A/C compressor places on the engine. The powertrain control module (PCM) uses this information in order to adjust idle and to control the cooling fans.

The PCM monitors the MAP signal during key up and wide open throttle (WOT) conditions. The barometric pressure (BARO) compensates for altitude differences.
CKP Sensor Status: The scan tool displays Angle, Time A or Time B. During normal operation the PCM calculates crankshaft position in an angle based mode using the signals from both CKP sensors. If there is a problem with one of the signals, the PCM will switch to a time based calculation and the scan tool will indicate which signal is being used.

Vehicle speed indicates that the vehicle is not traveling at a high enough speed to allow the cruise control to engage. Brake indicates that the brake pedal is depressed. None indicates that the cruise control can be activated.

Current Gear: The scan tool displays the numbers 1, 2, 3, or 4. The PCM looks at the transaxle range position and the gear commanded by the PCM. The actual forward gear that the transaxle is in will be the lower of the two because the manual valve can override the PCM commanded gear. The scan tool displays which gear the transmission is in. The scan tool displays 9 if the transmission gear is unknown.

Decel. Fuel Cutoff: The scan tool displays Active or Inactive. Active displayed indicates that the PCM has detected conditions appropriate to operate in Deceleration Fuel Cutoff mode. The PCM will command deceleration fuel cutoff mode when a sudden decrease in throttle position (TP) has been detected while the vehicle is traveling over 16 km/h (10 mph). While in Deceleration Fuel Cutoff mode, the PCM will decrease the amount of fuel delivered by entering Open Loop and decreasing the injector pulse width.
Desired EGR Position: The scan tool range is 0-100 percent and 0-5 volts. These parameters represent the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) pintle position that the PCM is commanding. Desired EGR Position should stay close to Actual EGR Position.
Desired Idle Speed: The scan tool range is 0-3187 RPM. The PCM commands the desired idle speed. The PCM compensates for various engine loads based on engine coolant temperature (ECT) in order to keep the engine at the desired speed.
Driver Module 1-4 Status: The scan tool displays Enabled, Off-High volts or Off-High Temp. This indicates the current state of each of the driver modules.
ECT: The scan tool range is -39 to +140°C (-38 to +284°F). The PCM applies 5 volts to the ECT sensor circuit. The sensor is a thermistor that changes internal resistance as temperature changes. When the sensor is cold, internal resistance high, the PCM monitors a high signal voltage and interprets the voltage 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 Flow Test Count: The scan tool range is 0-255 counts. Indicates the number of EGR flow test 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.
