Scan Tool Data Definitions

AUTO LEARN TIMER: The scan tool displays the seconds used by the BCM to learn valid code from the Passlock sensor. The learn procedure consists of 3 consecutive periods.

BATTERY VOLTAGE: The scan tool displays the battery system voltage.

CONTENT THEFT LAMP: The scan tool displays the state of the SECURITY lamp. The scan tool displays ON when activated by an unauthorized entry.

CONTENT THEFT STATE: The scan tool displays the state of the content theft feature. The scan tool displays ON when activated by an unauthorized entry.

DOOR HANDLE SWITCH: The scan tool displays the position of the door handle. The scan tool displays ACTIVE when a door handle is raised and INACTIVE with all doors closed and the door handles at rest.

DOOR KEY SWITCH: The scan tool displays the state of the door key switch. The scan tool displays ACTIVE when the switch is activated in either door key cylinder.

DRIVERS DOOR JAMB SWITCH: The scan tool displays the position of the drivers door. The scan tool displays ACTIVE when the drivers door is open.

IGNITION 1: The scan tool displays the state of the ignition switch. The scan tool displays ACTIVE when the ignition switch is in the RUN or CRANK position.

IGNITION 3: The scan tool displays the state of the ignition switch. The scan tool displays ACTIVE when the ignition switch is in the RUN position.

MANUFACTURE ENABLE COUNTER (MEC): The scan tool displays the actual value for the MEC in the BCM. This information is for the assembly plant only.

MODULE PART NUMBER: The scan tool displays the part number assigned to the BCM that is currently in the vehicle.

PASSLOCK(TM) CODE: The scan tool displays the validity of the Passlock(TM) code received by the BCM. The scan tool displays OPEN, SHORTED, TAMPER and a valid code as a numeric value (1-10).

PASSLOCK(TM) DATA VOLTAGE: The scan tool displays the voltage code from the Passlock(TM) sensor to the BCM. The BCM determines if the voltage received is a valid or invalid code voltage.

PASSLOCK(TM) STATE: The scan tool displays the state of the Passlock(TM) system.

SECURITY CALIBRATION NUMBER: The scan tool displays the security calibration part number in the BCM.

SECURITY LAMP STATE: The scan tool displays the state of the SECURITY lamp. The scan tool displays ON, OFF or FLASHING.

SECURITY SUFFIX: The scan tool displays the security identification number in the BCM.

TAMPER TIMER: The scan tool displays the time remaining when in the tamper mode. The timer starts when the ignition switch is turned to the RUN position and the BCM receives a Passlock(TM) data voltage different from the last learned voltage. The timer has a delay of 10 minutes and will stay active even if the ignition switch is cycled from the RUN to the OFF position.

VCM/PCM FAIL ENABLE: The scan tool displays the state of the VCM/PCM fail enable mode. The scan tool displays YES when the Passlock(TM) system transitions from the Monitor Passlock(TM) Data state to the VCM/PCM Fail Enable state.

VCM/PCM FUEL CONTINUE: The scan tool displays the state of the VCM/PCM fuel continue mode. The scan tool displays YES when the Passlock(TM) system verifies a valid password to the BCM.

VCM/PCM LEARN TIMER: The scan tool displays the state of the VCM/PCM learn timer. The scan tool displays INACTIVE when the BCM is not in a learn mode.

VTD FUEL DISABLE: The scan tool displays the state of the VTD fuel disable mode. The scan tool displays INACTIVE when the Passlock(TM) system verifies a valid password.
