SCAN TOOL DATA
As the data values given below are standard values estimated on the basis of values obtained from the normally
operating vehicles by using a scan tool, use them as reference values. Even when the vehicle is in good condition,
there may be cases where the checked value does not fall within each specified data range. Therefore, judgment
as abnormal should not be made by checking with these data alone.
Also, conditions in the below table that can be checked by the scan tool are those detected by ECM (PCM) and
output from ECM (PCM) as commands and there may be cases where the engine or actuator is not operating (in
the condition) as indicated by the scan tool. Be sure to use the timing light to check the ignition timing.
NOTE:
With the generic scan tool, only star () marked data in the table below can be read.
When checking the data with the engine running at idle or racing, be sure to shift M / T gear to the neutral
gear position and A / T gear to the “Park” position and pull the parking brake fully. Also, if nothing or “no
load” is indicated, turn OFF A / C, all electric loads, P / S and all the other necessary switches.

SCAN TOOL DATA DEFINITIONS
FUEL SYSTEM (FUEL SYSTEM STATUS)
Air / fuel ratio feedback loop status displayed as either
open or closed loop. Open indicates that ECM (PCM)
ignores feedback from the exhaust oxygen sensor.
Closed indicates final injection duration is corrected
for oxygen sensor feedback.
CALC LOAD (CALCULATED LOAD VALUE, %)
Engine load displayed as a percentage of maximum
possible load. Value is calculated mathematically us-
ing the formula: actual (current) intake air volume
maximum possible intake air volume x 100%.
COOLANT TEMP.
(ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE, C, F)
It is detected by engine coolant temp. sensor
SHORT FT B1 (SHORT TERM FUEL TRIM, %)
Short term fuel trim value represents short term
corrections to the air / fuel mixture computation. A val-
ue of 0 indicates no correction, a value greater than
0 means an enrichment correction, and a value less
than 0 implies an enleanment correction.
LONG FT B1 (LONG TERM FUEL TRIM, %)
Long term fuel trim Value represents long term correc-
tions to the air / fuel mixture computation. A value of 0
indicates no correction, a value greater than 0 means
an enrichment correction, and a value less than 0 im-
plies an enleanment correction.
MAP (INTAKE MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE
PRESSURE, kPa, inHg)
It is detected by manifold absolute pressure sensor and
used (among other things) to compute engine load.
ENGINE SPEED (rpm)
It is computed by reference pulses from crankshaft
position sensor.
VEHICLE SPEED (km / h, MPH)
It is computed based on pulse signals from vehicle
speed sensor.
IGNITION ADVANCE
(IGNITION TIMING ADVANCE FOR NO.1
CYLINDER, )
Ignition timing of NO.1 cylinder is commanded by
ECM (PCM). The actual ignition timing should be
checked by using the timing light.
INTAKE AIR TEMP. (C, F)
It is detected by intake air temp. sensor and used to
determine the amount of air passing into the intake
manifold as air density varies with temperature.
MAF (MASS AIR FLOW RATE, gm / s, lb / min)
It represents total mass of air entering intake manifold
which is computed based on signals from MAP sen-
sor, IAT sensor, TP sensor, etc.
THROTTLE POS
(ABSOLUTE THROTTLE POSITION, %)
When throttle position sensor is fully closed position,
throttle opening is indicated as 0% and 100% full open
position.
OXYGEN SENSOR B1 S1
(HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR-1, V)
It indicates output voltage of HO2S-1 installed on ex-
haust manifold (pre-catalyst).
OXYGEN SENSOR B1 S2
(HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR-2, V)
It indicates output voltage of HO2S-2 installed on ex-
haust pipe (post-catalyst). It is used to detect catalyst
deterioration.
DESIRED IDLE (DESIRED IDLE SPEED, rpm)
The Desired Idle Speed is an ECM (PCM) internal pa-
rameter which indicates the ECM (PCM) requested
idle. If the engine is not running, this number is not valid.
TP SENSOR VOLT (THROTTLE POSITION
SENSOR OUTPUT VOLTAGE, V)
The Throttle Position Sensor reading provides throttle
valve opening information in the form of voltage.
INJ PULSE WIDTH
(FUEL INJECTION PULSE WIDTH, msec.)
This parameter indicates time of the injector drive
(valve opening) pulse which is output from ECM
(PCM) (but injector drive time of NO.1 cylinder for
multiport fuel injection).
IAC FLOW DUTY (IDLE AIR (SPEED) CONTROL
DUTY, %)
This parameter indicates current flow time rate within
a certain set cycle of IAC valve (valve opening rate)
which controls the amount of bypass air (idle speed).
TOTAL FUEL TRIM (%)
The value of Total Fuel Trim is obtained by putting val-
ues of short Term Fuel Trim and Long Term Fuel Trim
together. This value indicates how much correction is
necessary to keep the air / fuel mixture stoichiomet-
rical.
BATTERY VOLTAGE (V)
This parameter indicates battery positive voltage in-
putted from main relay to ECM (PCM).
6-1-32 ENGINE GENERAL INFORMATION AND DIAGNOSIS (SFI FOR G13)
CANIST PURGE DUTY (EVAP CANISTER
PURGE FLOW DUTY, %)
This parameter indicates valve ON (valve open) time
rate within a certain set cycle of EVAP purge solenoid
valve which controls the amount of EVAP purge.
0% means that the purge valve is completely closed
while 100% is a fully open valve.
CLOSED THROTTLE POSITION (ON / OFF)
This parameter will read ON when throttle valve is ful-
ly closed, or OFF when the throttle is not fully closed.
FUEL CUT (ON / OFF)
ON : Fuel being cut (output signal to injector is
stopped)
OFF : Fuel not being cut
RADIATOR FAN
(RADIATOR FAN CONTROL RELAY, ON / OFF)
ON : Command for radiator fan control relay opera-
tion being output.
OFF : Command for relay operation not being out-
put.
ELECTRIC LOAD (ON / OFF)
ON : Headlight, small light, heater fan or rear win-
dow defogger ON signal inputted.
OFF : Above electric loads all turned OFF.
A / C SWITCH (ON / OFF)
ON : Command for A / C operation being output
from ECM (PCM) to A / C amplifier.
OFF : Command for A / C operation not being output.
FUEL TANK LEVEL (%)
This parameter indicates approximate fuel level in the
fuel tank. As the detectable range of the fuel level sen-
sor is set as 0 to 100%, however, with some models
whose fuel tank capacity is smaller, the indicated fuel
level may be only 70% even when the fuel tank is full.
PNP SIGNAL (PARK / NEUTRAL POSITION
SIGNAL, P / N RANGE or D RANGE)
It is detected by signal from TCM.
D range : A / T is in “R”, “D”, “2” or “L” range.
P / N range : A / T is in “P” or “N” range or the above
signal is not inputted from TCM.
EGR VALVE (%)
This parameter indicates opening rate of EGR valve
which controls the amount of EGR flow.

DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
WARNING:
When performing a road test, select a place where there is no traffic or possibility of a traffic accident
and be very careful during testing to avoid occurrence of an accident.
Road test should be carried out with 2 persons, a driver and a tester, on a level road.
1) Turn ignition switch OFF. Clear DTC with ignition switch ON, check vehicle and environmental condition for:
–Indication of fuel level meter in combination meter: 1 / 4 or more
–Altitude (barometric pressure): 2400 m, 8000 ft or less (560 mmHg, 75 kPa or more)
–Intake air temp.: between –10C and 80C (14F and 176F)
–Engine coolant temp.: 70C, 158F or higher
2) Warm up engine to normal operating temperature.
3) Increase vehicle speed to 30 – 40 mph, 50 – 60 km / h in 3rd gear or “D” range and hold throttle valve at that
opening position for 1 min.
4) Stop vehicle.
5) Check DTC in “DTC” mode and pending DTC in “ON BOARD TEST” or “PENDING DTC” mode.
