Engine

The TECH 1 scan data listed in these tables may be used for comparison after completing the "On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) System Check" and finding the on-board diagnostics functioning properly with no Diagnostic Trouble Codes [DTC(s)] displayed. The "Typical TECH 1 Data Values" are an average of display values recorded from normally operating vehicles and are intended to represent what a normally functioning system would display. The values you get may vary due to low battery charge or other reasons, but they should be very close.

A SCAN TOOL THAT DISPLAYS FAULTY DATA SHOULD NOT BE USED, AND THE PROBLEM SHOULD BE REPORTED TO THE MANUFACTURER. THE USE OF A FAULTY SCAN TOOL CAN RESULT IN MISDIAGNOSIS AND UNNECESSARY PARTS REPLACEMENT.

Only the parameters listed below are used for diagnosis. If a scan tool reads other parameters, the values are not recommended by OEM for use in diagnosis. For more description on the values and use of the TECH 1 tool to diagnosis Powertrain Control Module (PCM) inputs, refer to the applicable components. If all values are within the range illustrated, refer to DIAGNOSIS BY SYMPTOM/INTERMITTENTS.
- Intermittent Malfunctions
