PCM to EBCM Delivered Torque
The scan tool displays 0 to 100 percent - The scan tool displays the duty cycle of the Requested Torque PWM signal. The duty cycle of the signal is used to transmit how much engine torque the PCM is delivering. Normal values are between 10 and 90 percent duty cycle. The signal is at low values (approximately 10 percent) at idle and at higher values under driving conditions.

RF Outlet Valve Solenoid
The scan tool displays Active or Inactive - The scan tool displays the commanded state of the RF outlet solenoid valve.

RF Rotor Temperature
The scan tool displays -40 to +650°C (-40 to +1202°F) - The scan tool displays the estimated temperature of the right front brake rotor.

RF Wheel Speed
The scan tool displays 0 to 255 km/h (0 to 158 mph) - The scan tool displays the actual speed of the right front wheel.

Rough Road Parameter
The scan tool displays 0 to 1g - The scan tool displays the EBCM calculation of the road surface roughness. This information is sent to the PCM over the class 2 serial data line. The PCM uses this information for misfire detection.
