Scan Tool Data Definitions

The 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 0 to 4000 kPa (0 to 580 psi). This parameter represents the A/C refrigerant pressure sensor voltage signal converted to pressure.

A/C High Side Pressure: The scan tool displays 0.00-5.00 Volts. This parameter represents the A/C refrigerant pressure sensor signal.

A/C Off For WOT: The scan tool displays Yes or No. Yes indicates that the PCM has disabled the A/C compressor because the TP sensor signal is at wide open throttle.

A/C Pressure Disable: The scan tool displays Yes or No. Yes indicates that the PCM has disabled the A/C compressor due to excessive refrigerant pressure.

A/C Relay Circuit Status: The scan tool displays OK, Fault or Invalid. Represents the status of the A/C relay circuit.

A/C Relay Commanded: 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 A/C Relay Commanded displays On.

A/C Request Signal: 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.

ECT Sensor: The scan tool displays -40 to +215°C (-40 to +420°F). The reading represents the temperature of the engine coolant.
