Scan Tool Data List
Refer to the below data tables when one of the following conditions exist:
- The Instrument Cluster Diagnostic System Check is complete.
- The on board diagnostics are operating correctly.
- No diagnostic trouble codes (DTCS) are displayed.
The typical scan tool data values are an average of the 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 the values should be very close.
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. Refer to the Scan tool data definitions for further detailed information.
