TYPICAL SCAN DATA & DEFINITIONS (O
2
SENSOR DATA)
Use the Typical Values Table only after the On-Board Diagnostic System Check has been completed, no DTC(s) were
noted, and you have determined that the on-board diagnostics are functioning properly. Tech 2 values from a
properly-running engine may be used for comparison with the engine you are diagnosing.
Condition : Vehicle stopping, engine running, air conditioning off & after warm-up (Coolant temperature approximately
80 deg.)
Tech 2 Parameter

Description
1
Engine Speed
rpm
710 - 875
1950 - 2050
The actual engine speed is measured by ECM from the
CKP sensor 58X signal.
2
Desired Idle Speed
rpm
825
800
-
850
The desired engine idle speed that the ECM
commanding. The ECM compensates for various engine
loads.
3
Engine Coolant
Temperature
°C or °F
80 - 90
80 - 90
The ECT is measured by ECM from ECT sensor output
voltage. When the engine is normally warm upped, this
data displays approximately 80 °C or more.
4
Start Up ECT (Engine
Coolant Temperature)
°C or °F
Depends on ECT
at start-up
Depends on ECT
at start-up
Start-up ECT is measured by ECM from ECT sensor
output voltage when engine is started.
5
Intake Air
Temperature
°C or °F

The IAT is measured by ECM from IAT sensor output
voltage. This data is changing by intake air temperature.
6

Start-up IAT is measured by ECM from IAT sensor output
voltage when engine is started.
7
Manifold Absolute
Pressure
kPa
31 - 36
25 - 30
The MAP (kPa) is measured by ECM from MAP output
voltage. This data is changing by inlet manifold pressure.
8
Barometric Pressure
kPa
Depends on
altitude
Depends on
altitude
The barometric pressure is measured by ECM from the
MAP sensor output voltage monitored during key up and
wide open throttle. This data is changing by altitude.
9
Throttle Position
%
0
2 - 4
Throttle position operating angle is measured by the
ECM from throttle position output voltage. This should
display 0% at idle and 99 - 100% at full throttle.
10
Calculated Air Flow
g/s
3.5 -4.50
8.0 - 10.0
This displays intake air amount. The mass air flow is
measured by ECM from the MAF sensor output voltage.
11
Air Fuel Ratio
14.6:1
14.6:1
This displays the ECM commanded value. In closed
loop, this should normally be displayed around 14.2:1 -
14.7:1.
12
Fuel System Status
Open Loop/
Close Loop
Close Loop
Close Loop
When the engine is first started the system is in “Open
Loop” operation. In “Open Loop”, the ECM ignores the
signal from the oxygen sensors. When various
conditions (ECT, time from start, engine speed & oxygen
sensor output) are met, the system enters “Closed Loop”
operation. In “Closed Loop”, the ECM calculates the air
fuel ratio based on the signal from the oxygen sensors.
13
Engine Load
%
2 - 5
5 - 10
This displays is calculated by the ECM form engine
speed and MAF sensor reading. Engine load should
increase with an increase in engine speed or air flow
amount.

Sensor Ready
(Bank 1)
Yes/No
Yes
Yes
This displays the status of the exhaust oxygen sensor.
This display will indicate “Yes” when the ECM detects a
fluctuating oxygen sensor output voltage sufficient to
allow closed loop operation. This will not occur unless
the oxygen sensor is warmed up.
15
B1S1 Status
(Bank 1 Sensor 1)
Rich / Lean
Rich / Lean
Rich / Lean
This displays dependent on the exhaust oxygen sensor
output voltage. Should fluctuate constantly “Rich” and
“Lean” in closed loop.
16
Fuel Trim Learned
Yes/No
Yes
Yes
When conditions are appropriate for enabling long term
fuel trim corrections, fuel trim learn will display “Yes”.
This indicates that the long term fuel trim is responding
to the short term fuel trim. If the fuel trim lean displays
“No”, then long term fuel trim will not respond to changes
in short term fuel trim.
