EGR Desired Position
The desired exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) position is
the commanded EGR position. The ECM calculates the
desired EGR position. The higher the percentage, the lon-
ger the ECM is commanding the EGR valve ON.
Engine Load
Indicates engine load based on manifold absolute pres-
sure. The higher the percentage, the more load the engine
is under.
Engine Run Time
The engine run time is a measure of how long the engine
has been running. When the engine stops running, the tim-
er resets to zero.
Engine Speed
Engine Speed is computed by the ECM from the fuel con-
trol reference input. It should remain close to desired idle
under the various engine loads with the engine idling.
Fan
The Fan Control (FC) Relay is commanded by the ECM.
The FC Relay displays the command as ON or OFF.
Fuel Level Sensor
The Fuel Level Sensor monitors the fuel level in the tank.
The Fuel Level Sensor monitors the rate of change of the
air pressure in the EVAP system. Several of the Enhanced
EVAP System diagnostics are dependent upon the correct
fuel level.
Fuel System Status
The Closed Loop is displayed indicating that the ECM is
controlling the fuel delivery according to the Front Heated
Oxygen Sensor (HO2S1) voltage as close to an air/fuel ra-
tio of 14.7 to 1 as possible.
IAC Position
The scan tool displays the ECM command for the Idle Air
Control (IAC) pintle position in counts. The higher the
number of counts, the greater the commanded idle speed
reads. The Idle Air Control responds to changes in the en-
gine load in order to maintain the desired idle rpm.
Ignition 1 (Voltage)
The ignition volts represent the system voltage measured
by the ECM at the ignition feed circuit.
Intake Air Temperature
The ECM converts the resistance of the Intake Air Tem-
perature (IAT) sensor to degrees in the same manner as
the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor. In take air
temperature is used by the ECM to adjust fuel delivery and
spark timing according to incoming air density.Knock Present
The KS Noise Channel indicates when the ECM detects
the KS signal. The ECM should display NO at idle.
Long Term FT
The Long Term Fuel Trim (FT) is derived from the short
term fuel trim value. The Long Term FT is used for the long
term correction of the fuel delivery. A value of 128 counts
(0%) indicates that the fuel delivery requires no com-
pensation in order to maintain a 14.7:1 air to fuel ratio. A
value below 128 counts means that the fuel system is too
rich and the fuel delivery is being reduced. The ECM is de-
creasing the injector pulse width. A value above 128
counts indicates that a lean condition exists for which the
ECM is compensating.
MAP
The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor measures
the change in the intake manifold pressure which results
from engine load and speed changes. As the intake man-
ifold pressure increases, the air density in the intake also
increases and the additional fuel is required.
Misfire History #1–4
Indicates the number of misfires that have occurred after
195 current misfires have been counted. The current mis-
fire counter will add its misfires to the history misfire count-
er after 195 total misfires have taken place. If 1 cylinder is
misfiring, the misfiring current counter will have 195 mis-
fires counted before adding to its history counter. If 2 cylin-
ders are misfiring, the misfiring current counter will add to
their history counters after 97 misfires. The counter incre-
ments only after a misfire diagnostic trouble code (DTC)
has been set.
Front Heated Oxygen Sensor
The pre–converter Front Heated Oxygen Sensor
(HO2S1) reading represents the exhaust oxygen sensor
output voltage. This voltage will fluctuate constantly be-
tween 100 mv (lean exhaust) and 900 mv (rich exhaust)
when the system is operating in a Closed Loop.
Rear Heated Oxygen Sensor
The post–converter Rear Heated Oxygen Sensor
(HO2S2) represents the exhaust oxygen output voltage
past the catalytic converter. This voltage remains inactive,
or the voltage will appear lazy within a range of 100 mv
(lean exhaust) and 900 mv (rich exhaust) when operating
in a Closed Loop.
Short Term FT
The Short Term FT represents a short term correction to
fuel delivery by the ECM in response to the amount of time
the oxygen sensor voltage spends above or below the 450
mv threshold. If the oxygen sensor has mainly been below
450 mv, indicating a lean air/fuel mixture, short term fuel
trim will increase to tell the ECM to add fuel. If the oxygen
sensor voltage stays mainly above the threshold, the ECM
will reduce fuel delivery to compensate for the indicated
rich condition.

FUEL SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS
Gasoline
All engines are designed to use unleaded fuel only. Un-
leaded fuel must be used for proper emission control sys-
tem operation. Its use will also minimize spark plug fouling
and extend engine oil life. Using leaded fuel can damage
the emission warranty coverage. The fuel should meet
specification ASTM D4814 for the U.S. or CGSB 3.5 M93
for Canada. All engines are designed to use unleaded fuel
with a minimum U(R+M)/2e (pump) octane number of 87,
where R=research octane number, and M=motor octane
number.
Ethanol
You may use fuel containing ethanol (ethyl alcohol) orgrain alcohol providing that there is no more than 10 per-
cent ethyl alcohol by volume.
Methanol
Do not use fuels containing methanol. Methanol can cor-
rode metal parts and cause damage to plastic and rubber
parts in the fuel system.
Methyl Tertiary–Butyl Ether (MTBE)
You may use fuel containing Methyl Tertiary–Butyl Ether
(MTBE) providing there is no more than 15 percent MTBE
by volume.

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) P0112
INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR LOW VOLTAGE
Circuit Description
The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor uses a thermis-
tor to control the signal voltage to the engine control mod-
ule (ECM). The ECM supplies a 5 volt reference voltage
and a ground to the sensor. When the air is cold, the resist-
ance is high ; therefore IAT sensor signal voltage will be
high. If the intake air is warm, resistance is low ; therefore
the IAT sensor signal voltage will be low.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
S IAT voltage is less than 0.01V.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
S The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) will illuminate
after three consecutive trip with a fail.
S The ECM will record operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fail. This information will be
stored in the Freeze Frame and Failure Records
buffers.
S A history DTC is stored.S The ECM will default to 605C(1405F) for intake air
temperature. The scan tool will not show the de-
faulted value.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
S The MIL will turn off after four consecutive ignition
cycles in which the diagnostic runs without a fault.
S A history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive warm
up cycles without a fault.
S DTC(s) can be cleared by using the scan tool.
S Disconnecting the ECM battery feed for 10 sec-
onds.
Diagnostic Aids
If the vehicle is at ambient temperature, compare the IAT
sensor to the engine coolant temperature(ECT) sensor.
The IAT sensor and the ECT sensor should be relatively
close to each other. Use the temperature vs. Resistance
Values table to evaluate the possibility of a skewed sensor.
Refer to ”Temperature vs. Resistance” in this section.

Diagnostic Aids
Although this DTC is considered a type. A diagnostic, it
acts like a type B diagnostic under certain conditions.
Whenever this diagnostic reports the system has passed,
or if the battery is disconnected, the diagnostic must fail
twice before setting a DTC. The initial failure is not re-ported to the diagnostic executive or displayed on a scan
tool. A passing system always reports to the diagnostic
executive immediately.
Check for the following conditions :
S Missing or damaged fuel cap.
S Missing or damaged O–rings at fuel vapor and
EVAP purge line canister fittings.
S Cracked or punctured EVAP canister.
S Damaged source vacuum line, EVAP purge line,
EVAP vent hose or fuel tank vapor line.
S Poor connection at the ECM. Inspect the harness
connectors for the following conditions.
S Backed–out terminals.
S Improper mating.
S Broken locks.
S Improperly formed.
S Damaged terminals.
S Poor terminal–to–wire connection.
