Typical Scan Tool Data Values

Use the Typical Scan Tool Data Values listed in this system for comparison after the instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) System Check and finding the on board diagnostics are functioning properly with no diagnostic trouble codes displayed. The Typical Scan Tool Data Values are an average of displayed values recorded from normally operating vehicles. The Typical Scan Tool Data Values are intended to represent what a normally functioning system would display with certain preliminary settings. The values you get may vary slightly due to a low battery charge or other reasons. But they should be very close.

NOTE: Do not use a scan tool that displays faulty data. Report the problem to the manufacturer. The use of a faulty scan tool can result in misdiagnosis and unnecessary parts replacement.

Use only the parameters listed in the tables for diagnosis. If a scan tool reads other parameters, the values are not recommended for use in diagnosis. For more description on the scan tool Typical Data Values and the use of the scan tool in order to diagnosis the instrument Panel Cluster (IPC), refer to the Applicable Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Table If all values are within the range illustrated, Refer to the IPC Symptom Reference Table.
