breakout box. If breakout box is not available, take desired measurements between ground pin and specified pin 
at PCM connector (backprobe PCM connector). See appropriate illustration in PIN VOLTAGE/PID VALUE 
CHARTS under PID DEFINITIONS & PIN VOLTAGE/PID VALUES. 

SYMPTOM TESTING 

Using REFERENCE VALUE SYMPTOM CHART can help in selecting PIDs that are related to a specific fault 
area. See Fig. 1 . Select a symptom from the chart, note category number and proceed to Fig. 2 . For multiple 
symptoms, select most evident symptom. Match category number with related PIDs/measured signals 
(component and signal) and perform PID TESTING .

PID TESTING 

Some vehicles may not display all input and output PID signals. Reference values may vary plus or minus 20 
percent depending on operating conditions and other factors. RPM values are axle ratio and tire size dependent. 

Accessing Generic OBD-II PIDs 

Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Ensure test equipment is properly attached. Program scan tool using the 
following steps:  

z

Select VEHICLE & ENGINE SELECTION menu.

Compare actual PID values on scan tool to PID values in appropriate chart under PIN VOLTAGE/PID 
VALUE CHARTS under PID DEFINITIONS & PIN VOLTAGE/PID VALUES. If PID value is not as 
specified, perform appropriate SYSTEM TEST in SELF-DIAGNOSTICS - BI-FUEL - GASOLINE/CNG 
article.
