Scan Tool Data Definitions

The SIR Scan Tool Data Definitions contain a brief description of all SIR related parameters available on the scan tool. The list is in the order it appears on the scan tool.

Ignition: The scan tool displays 0-25.5 Volts. The Ignition represents the system voltage measured by the SDM at its ignition feed.

Driver Senselo: The scan tool displays 0-20 Volts. The SDM measures the voltage of the driver low terminal voltage and displays it as Driver Senselo.

Passenger Senselo: The scan tool displays 0-20 Volts. The SDM measures the voltage of the passenger low terminal voltage and displays it as Passenger Senselo.

Driver VDIF: The scan tool displays 0-500 Milli volts. The SDM measures the difference between driver high and driver low to determine voltage differential.

Passenger VDIF: The scan tool displays 0-500 Milli volts. The SDM measures the difference between passenger high and driver low terminals to determine voltage differential.

Driver Energy Reserve: The scan tool displays 0-30 Volts. The SDM measures the voltage of the driver energy reserve capacitors inside the SDM and displays it as Driver Energy Reserve.

Passenger Energy Reserve: The scan tool displays 0-30 Volts. The SDM measures the voltage of the passenger energy reserve capacitors inside the SDM and displays it as Passenger Energy Reserve.
