Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.

All PCM A-Chart

The TECH 1 scan data listed in this table may be used for comparison after completing the On-Board Diagnostic System Check and finding the on-board diagnostics functioning properly with no Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) 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.

NOTE: 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 in this section for diagnosis. If a scan tool reads other parameters, they may apply to information in another section. For additional description on the values and use of the TECH 1 tool to diagnosis Powertrain Control Module (PCM) inputs, refer to Vehicle On-Board Diagnostics/Accessing and Reading Trouble Codes.
[1][2]C Code Charts
If all values are within the range illustrated and a problem exists, refer to Diagnosis By Symptom.
Testing and Inspection

Test Under Following Conditions:
^ Engine at Operating Temperature
^ Engine Idling in "Closed Loop"
^ Closed Throttle
^ Park/Neutral
^ All Accessories "OFF"
