Scan Tool Data Definitions
SCAN TOOL DATA DEFINITIONSThe HVAC Scan Tool Data Definitions contain a brief description of all the scan tool parameters. This list is in alphanumeric order.
A/C High Side Pressure: The scan tool displays -103 to +3119 kPa (-14 to +452 psi). This parameter represents the A/C refrigerant pressure sensor voltage signal converted to pressure.
A/C High Side Pressure Sensor: The scan tool displays 0.00-5.00 Volts. This parameter represents the A/C refrigerant pressure sensor signal.
A/C Request: The scan tool displays Yes or No. The PCM uses the A/C request signal in order to determine if A/C compressor operation is being requested by the HVAC control module.
A/C Relay Circuit Short to Volts: The scan tool displays Yes or No. Yes is displayed if the A/C relay control circuit is shorted to voltage.
A/C Relay Circuit Open or Short to Ground: The scan tool displays Yes or No. Yes is displayed if the A/C relay control circuit is open or shorted to ground.
A/C Relay Command: The scan tool displays On or Off. Represents the PCM commanded state of the A/C compressor clutch relay. The A/C compressor clutch should be engaged when Commanded A/C displays On.
Auto Switch - Actual: The scan tool displays High or Low. When the AUTO button is pressed the scan tool displays High. When released, the scan tool displays Low.
Auto Switch Command: The scan tool displays On or Off. On is displayed when the HVAC control module is in Auto Mode.
