Data Parameters
DESCRIPTIONThe PCM Data selection allows viewing of inputs the PCM uses to control powertrain functions. Each data parameter is displayed on the DIC in appropriate units. The values displayed are non-fail safe.
PD01 TPS
Throttle Position Sensor. Display shows degrees of throttle opening from -13.9 to 93.4.
PD02 kPa MAP
Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor. Display shows manifold pressure in Kilo Pascals (kPa) from 10 to 105. At key "ON" (engine not running), the MAP value will reflect barometric pressure. Multiply your local barometric pressure by 3.386 to obtain a MAP value that should be within 2 kPa of the displayed value at key "ON." At key "ON," MAP will vary with altitude.
PD03 kPa BARO
Barometric Pressure (BARO). Display shows the BARO in kPa from 61 to 103. The BARO reading is taken at key "ON" and is corrected at Wide Open Throttle (WOT). Multiply your local barometric pressure by 3.386 to obtain a BARO value that should be within 2 kPa of the displayed value. BARO varies with altitude (e.g. a typical value in Denver is 85 kPa while a typical value at sea level is 100kPa).

A reading of 2.500 volts means the ignition and PCM grounds are at the same voltage. A reading of 1.000 means the ignition ground voltage is 1.5 volts lower than the PCM ground and a reading of 3.500 means the ignition ground voltage is 1.0 volt above the PCM ground.

PD16 FAULT ABCD
PCM Output Fault Status A. The PCM contains chips, called quad drivers, that provide four switchable ground outputs for running solenoids, relays, telltales and the like. Each of these chips has a fault line that feeds back to the PCM's microprocessor. Each quad driver watches its four output lines. When the output is "OFF," it should see the 12 volts fed to the solenoid, relay coil, or telltale on its output and when the output is "ON," it should see 0 volt since it is grounding the output. If it sees 0 volt when its output is "OFF" or 12 volts when its output is "ON," it pushes the fault line high.
PCM Output Fault Status A shows the states of fault lines from four of the PCM's quad drivers. Each quad driver corresponds to one digit of the display and each digit can only appear as 0 or 1. A "0" means that no output faults are present. A "1" means that a fault is present on at least one output of that quad driver. The chart below identifies the quad drivers corresponding to each digit and what is driven by that driver:
Quad Driver Outputs Driven
A (1st digit) TCC solenoid and engine temperature light *
B (2nd digit) PASS-Key Starter Inhibit Output, EGR and EVAP Sols. *
C (3rd digit) Cooling Fan Relays and "Service Engine Soon" MIL
D (4th digit) A/C clutch relay, TCS delivered torque and RSS Lift/Dive outputs *
* These quad drivers have one or more unused outputs. Their fault status lines will always be high whether or not a true failure is present.
PD17 FAULT EFGH
PCM Output Fault Status B. The PCM contains chips, called quad drivers that provide four switchable ground outputs for running solenoids, relays, telltales and the like. Each of these chips has a fault line that feeds back to the PCM's microprocessor. Each quad driver watches its four output lines. When the output is "OFF," it should see the 12 volts fed to the solenoid, relay coil, or telltale on its output and when the output is "ON," it should see 0 volt since it is grounding the output. If it sees 0 volt when its output is "OFF" or 12 volts when its output is "ON," it pushes the fault line high. Other PCM outputs use individual transistors to drive things like injectors or the generator enable. The PCM can monitor these circuits to check for faults the same as the quad drivers do.
PCM Output Fault Status B shows the states of fault lines from one PCM quad driver the eight injector drivers and the generator enable circuit. Each quad driver corresponds to one digit of the display and each digit can only appear as "0" or "1." A "0" means that no output faults are present. A "1" means that a fault is present on at least one output of that quad driver. The chart below identifies the quad drivers corresponding to each digit and what is driven by that driver:
Quad Driver Outputs Driven
E (1st digit) Transaxle Shift Solenoids "A" and "B"
F (2nd digit) Fuel Injectors
G (3rd digit) Generator "L" terminal output *
H (4th digit) Not Used
* 3rd digit will display "1" at key "ON," engine "OFF."

The PCM increases or decreases the line pressure during shifts to control shift feel. A normal value is between -10 PSI and +10 PSI. A value less than 0 PSI means the PCM was lowering transaxle line pressure during the most recent shift to soften the shift. A value greater than 0 PSI means the PCM was raising transaxle line pressure during the most recent shift to firm up the shift.

This value is the increase in transaxle line pressure that the PCM is commanding through the transaxle pressure control solenoid during steady state (not upshifting or downshifting) conditions. The PCM increases the line pressure to control clutch slippage. A normal value is between 0 PSI and 10 PSI. A value greater than 0 PSI means the PCM has detected some clutch slippage (not during transaxle shifts) and is raising transaxle line pressure to decrease transaxle clutch slippage.

The PCM increases or decreases the line pressure during garage shifts (shifts from Park or Neutral to Drive or Reverse) to control shift feel.
