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 condi-
tion, 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 and output
from ECM as commands and there may be cases where the engine or actuator is not operating (in the condi-
tion) 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.
The triangle (
∆
∆∆ ∆) marked data in the table below can not be read for vehicle without immobilizer indi-
cator lamp at combination meter.
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 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 using 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 value 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 corrections to the air / fuel mixture computation. A value of 0 indi-
cates no correction, a value greater than 0 means an enrichment correction, and a value less than 0 implies 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. 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 sensor,
IAT sensor, TP sensor, etc.BRAKE SWIgnition switch

Table A-1 Malfunction Indicator Lamp Circuit Check - Lamp Does Not Come
“ON” at Ignition Switch ON (But Engine at Stop)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
When the ignition switch is turned ON, ECM causes the main relay to turn ON (close the contact point). Then,
ECM being supplied with the main power, turns ON the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). When the engine
starts to run and no malfunction is detected in the system, MIL goes OFF but if a malfunction was or is detected,
MIL remains ON even when the engine is running.
