Data Parameters Long Parameter Names
AMBIENT AIR
TEMPERATURE
Can be obtained from an AAT sensor directly or deducted by the
ECM from other sensor signals.
BAROMETRIC PRESSURE
Can be obtained from a BARO or MAP sensor directly or deducted
by the ECM from other sensor (MAF) signals. If the value at
'ignition key on' and certain driving conditions is stored into a
memory, clearing the memory may lead to inaccurate BARO
values.
CALCULATED LOAD VALUE
The ECM calculates the engine load by dividing the actual
manifold airflow volume (Otto engines) or actual fuel flow (Diesel
engines) by the maximum possible volume with a factor for
pressure and temperature compensation. Correlates with the
engine vacuum. Value is presented as a percentage and ranges
from 0 to 100.
CATALYST TEMPERATURE
Bx–Sy
Shows the catalyst substrate temperature for the mentioned bank
or the temperature of the mentioned bank and oxygen sensor. Can
be obtained from a sensor directly or deducted by the ECM from
other sensor signals.
COMMANDED EGR
Shows the status of the Exhaust Gas Recirculation system
between 0% (no flow) and 100% (max. flow, max. duty cycle)
COMMANDED
EQUIVALENCE RATIO
Shows the Air/Fuel ratio as commanded by the ECM. To obtain the
actual Air/Fuel ratio, multiply the stoichiometric Air/Fuel ratio by the
equivalence ratio. Conventional oxygen sensors shows the ratio
when in Open Loop only. In Closed Loop '1.0' is shown. Wide
range, or linear, oxygen sensors show the ratio in Open Loop and
Closed Loop.
COMMANDED
EVAPORATIVE PURGE
Shows the status of the Evaporative Purge Control Valve between
0% (no flow) and 100% (max. flow, max. duty cycle)
COMMANDED SEC. AIR
STATUS
Shows the position of the Secondary Air system (upstream or
downstream of the first catalytic converter) and/or its status.
COMMANDED THROTTLE
ACT.CONTROL
Shows the status of the Throttle Actuator Control between 0%
(closed throttle) and 100% (wide open throttle)
CONTROL MODULE
VOLTAGE
Shows the power input to the ECM. This is not automatically equal
to the battery voltage!
DISTANCE SINCE DTCs
CLEARED
Accumulated distance since the DTCs were cleared. The
maximum number is 65535. To set to 0, reset all DTCs
DISTANCE WHILE MIL
ACTIVE
Conditions for this counter:
1. Resets to zero when MIL state changes from 'deactivated' to
'activated' by the ECM.
2. Accumulates counts in km if MIL is activated (ON).
3. Does not change value while MIL is not activated (OFF).
4. Resets to zero if diagnostic information is cleared either by
service $04 or 40 warm-up cycles without MIL activated.
5. Does not wrap to zero if value is maximum (65535).
EGR ERROR
The Exhaust Gas Recirculation system control and feedback
devices differ, therefore no 'actual' or 'commanded' status can be
shown. The value is (actual EGR - commanded EGR),
commanded EGR. E.g. (5%-10%)/10%=-50%
