Scan Tool Data Definitions



Scan Tool Data Definitions
Battery Voltage
- The scan tool displays 8-14 volts. The amount of battery voltage available at the body control module (BCM).

LF, LR, RF, RR Pressure Sensor ID
- The scan tool displays a number up to 8 digits in length, or an asterisk. A number displayed indicates the tire pressure sensor unique identification (Id) code, and that it has been learned into the BCMs memory. An asterisk indicates the sensors Id code has not been learned into the Remote Control Door Lock Receiver (RCDLR) memory.

LF, LR, RF, RR Pressure Sensor Mode
- Stationary indicates the sensors internal roll switch is open and the sensor has made its stationary transmission which occurs once every 60 minutes from the last stationary transmission. Wake indicates the sensor is transitioning to drive mode, in this mode the sensor has detected an initial roll switch closure. Drive indicates the sensors roll switch has been closed for at least 10 seconds and the sensor is transmitting once every 60 seconds. Re-Measure indicates the sensor has detected a 1.6 psi change in tire pressure. Learn indicates the sensor has been activated by a low frequency transmission. Low Bat indicates the sensor's internal battery charge level is low. N/A indicates the sensor is in a mode not supported by the scan tool.

LF, LR, RF, RR Tire Pressure
- The scan tool displays 0-344 kPa (0-51 psi). The actual pressure of the left front tire.

Sensor Learn Mode
- The scan tool displays Active, or Inactive. Active indicates the Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) systems tire pressure sensor learn mode is active and able to learn all 4 sensor Id codes. Inactive indicates the TPM system is not able to learn the sensor Id codes.

Selected Front Tire Pressure
- The scan tool displays the front tire pressure that was last selected for the vehicle.

Selected Rear Tire Pressure
- The scan tool displays the rear tire pressure that was last selected for the vehicle

Selected Tire Type
- The scan tool displays P-Metric Standard, P-Metric Extended, Load Range C, Load Range D, Load Range E. The tire type that was last selected for the vehicle.

TPM System Enabled
- The scan tool displays Yes, or No. Yes indicates the TPM option has been enabled in the Remote Control Door Lock Receiver (RCDLR). No indicates the TPM option has not been enabled in the RCDLR.

Vehicle Speed
- The scan tool displays 0-255 km/h (0-159 mph). The actual speed of the vehicle.
