Scan Tool Data Definitions

A/C Disengage Reason
- The scan tool displays one of the following reasons why the ECM/PCM has disengaged the a/c compressor; None, System Voltage, WOT, CKP, Learn Active, Engine Run Time, Coolant Hot, Anti Stall, A/C Pressure, Engine Speed, Trans Engine Speed, A/C Pressure Sensor, Low Voltage, High Voltage, Outside Air, Temp, A/C Switched Off.

A/C High Side Pressure Sensor
- The scan tool displays 0-2951 kPa (0-428 psi). The voltage applied to the ECM/PCM input from the A/C refrigerant pressure sensor is converted to a pressure value.

A/C High Side Pressure Sensor
- The scan tool displays 0-5 volts. The voltage applied to the ECM/PCM input for the A/C refrigerant pressure sensor.

A/C Off for WOT
- The scan tool displays the high throttle disable of the a/c compressor.

A/C Pressure Disable
- The scan tool displays the status of the a/c high side pressure sensor. The scan tool displays YES/NO.

A/C Relay Command
- The scan tool displays On/Off. The scan tool displays the control decision for the compressor clutch relay output as determined by the ECM/PCM.

A/C Relay Circuit Status
- The scan tool displays the following message stating the history status of the a/c relay control circuit. The scan tool displays OK/Fault

A/C Request Signal
- The scan tool displays Yes/No. The scan tool displays Yes when the ECM/PCM receives a message to engage the A/C compressor clutch. The scan tool displays No when the ECM/PCM receives a message to disengage the A/C compressor clutch.

A/C Switch
- The scan tool displays On/Off. The a/c request switch shows current status of the a/c request switch function on the BCM.

ECT Sensor
- The scan tool displays -40 to +215°C (-40 to +419°F). The voltage applied to the ECM/PCM input from the engine coolant temperature sensor is converted to a temperature value.

Ignition 1 Signal
- The scan tool shows available voltage at the ECM/PCM. The scan tool displays 0-12 volts.

Outside Air Temp Sensor
- The voltage applied to the BCM input for the outside air temperature sensor. The scan tool displays 0-5 volts.
