- Short Term Fuel Trim (Bank 1*)
- Long Term Fuel Trim (Bank l*)
- Short Term Fuel Trim (Bank 2**)
- Long Term Fuel Trim (Bank 2**)
- RPM
- Vehicle Speed

* Also known as Bank "A" or Left Bank.
** Also known as Bank "B" or Right Bank.

Accessing this data can help you determine the nature of the concern and the steps required to solve the problem.
