Scan Tool Data Definitions



Scan Tool Data Definitions

The ABS scan tool data definitions contain a brief description of all ABS related parameters available on the scan tool. The parameters available on the scan tool are listed below in alphanumeric order.

ABS Active

The scan tool displays Yes/No. The scan tool displays No when a when not active.

ABS Failed

The scan tool displays On/Off. The scan tool displays Off when a when not active.

Battery Voltage Signal

The scan tool displays 0-18 Volts. The scan tool displays approximately 12 Volts when the ignition is ON.

Brake Fluid Level Status

The scan tool displays 0-18 Volts. The scan tool displays approximately 12 Volts when the ignition is ON.

Brake Pressure Sensor Input

The scan tool displays 0-5 Volts. The scan tool displays approximately 1.5 Volts when the ignition is ON.

Brake Pedal Position Signal (BPP)

The scan tool displays Applied/Released. The scan tool indicates Released when the brake is not applied.

Delivered Torque

The scan tool displays 0-100 percent. The scan tool displays the duty cycle of the Delivered Torque PWM signal. The duty cycle of the signal is used to transmit how much engine torque the PCM is delivering. Normal values are between 10 and 90 percent duty cycle.

DRP Active

The scan tool will display Yes/No depending on the state of the DRP.

DRP Disabled

The scan tool will display Yes/No depending on the state of the DRP.

Engine Drag Control Failed

The scan tool will display Yes/No depending on the state of traction of the tires and engine RPM.

HBB Calibration Status

The scan tool will display Failed or Applied. The scan tool displays Applied when the calibration is complete.

Lateral Accelerometer Signal

The scan tool will display 0-5 Volts. The scan tool displays approximately 2.5 volts when the ignition is ON, and the vehicle is stationary.

Ignition Voltage Signal

The scan tool displays 0-18 Volts. The scan tool displays approximately 12 Volts when the ignition is ON.

LF Wheel Speed Sensor

The scan tool displays 0-327 km/h (0-204 mph). The scan tool displays 0 km/h (0 mph) when the vehicle is not moving or is moving at speeds less than or equal to 0 km/h (0 mph).

LR Wheel Speed Sensor

The scan tool displays 0-327 km/h (0-204 mph). The scan tool displays 0 km/h (0 mph) when the vehicle is not moving or is moving at speeds less than or equal to 0 km/h (0 mph).

LF Outlet Valve Command

The scan tool displays Active/Inactive. The scan tool displays Active when the left front Outlet valve solenoid is commanded on.

LR Outlet Valve Command

The scan tool displays Active/Inactive. The scan tool displays Active when the left front Outlet valve solenoid is commanded on.

Panic Brake Assist Failed

The scan tool will display Yes/No depending on the state of traction of the tires and engine RPM.

Pump Motor Command Voltage

The scan tool will display Voltage when the pump motor is active.

Requested Torque

The scan tool displays 0-10 percent. The scan tool displays the duty cycle of the Requested Torque PWM signal. The duty cycle of the signal is used to transmit how much engine torque the EBCM is requested.

RF Outlet Valve Command

RF Inlet Valve Command

The scan tool displays Active/Inactive. The scan tool displays Active when the right front Inlet valve solenoid is commanded on.

RF Wheel Speed Sensor

The scan tool displays 0-327 km/h (0-204 mph). The scan tool displays 0 km/h (0 mph) when the vehicle is not moving or is moving at speeds less than or equal to 0 km/h (0 mph).

RR Wheel Speed Sensor

The scan tool displays 0-327 km/h (0-204 mph). The scan tool displays 0 km/h (0 mph) when the vehicle is not moving or is moving at speeds less than or equal to 0 km/h (0 mph).

RR Outlet Valve Command

The scan tool displays Active/Inactive. The scan tool displays Active when the right front Inlet valve solenoid is commanded on.

RR Inlet Valve Command

The scan tool displays Active/Inactive. The scan tool displays Active when the right front Inlet valve solenoid is commanded on.

Steering Wheel Position

The scan tool will display Steering Angle Sensor. The scan tool will display the signal received from the Steering Angle Sensor.

TCS Active

The scan tool will display Yes or No depending on the state of the Traction Control.

TCS Failed

The scan tool will display Yes or No depending on the state of the Traction Control

VSES Active

The scan tool displays Yes or No. The scan tool displays Yes when VSES is active, and No when VSES is inactive.

VSES Failed

The scan tool will display Yes or No depending on the state of the ABS indicator.

Yaw Rate Sensor

The scan tool will display Volts, depending on the angle of the vehicle.
