SHORT FT B1 (Short Term Fuel Trim Bank 1, %) / SHORT FT B2 (Short Term Fuel Trim Bank 2, %)
Short term fuel trim value represents short term corrections to the air/fuel mixture computation. A value of 0 indi-
cates no correction, a value greater than 0 means an enrichment correction, and a value less than 0 implies an
enleanment correction.
LONG FT B1 (Long Term Fuel Trim Bank 1, %) / LONG FT B2 (Long Term Fuel Trim Bank 2, %)
Long term fuel trim value represents long term corrections to the air/fuel mixture computation. A value of 0 indi-
cates no correction, a value greater than 0 means an enrichment correction, and a value less than 0 implies an
enleanment correction.
IGNITION ADVANCE (Ignition Timing Advance For No.1 Cylinder, °)
Ignition timing of No.1 cylinder is commanded by ECM (PCM). The actual ignition timing should be checked by
using the timing light.
BATTERY VOLTAGE (V)
This parameter indicates battery positive voltage inputted from main relay to ECM (PCM).
MAF (Mass Air Flow Rate, g/s, lb/min)
It represents total mass of air entering intake manifold which is measured by mass air flow sensor.
INJ PULSE WIDTH B1 (Fuel Injection Pulse Width Bank 1, msec) / INJ PULSE WIDTH B2 (Fuel Injec-
tion Pulse Width Bank 2, msec)
This parameter indicates time of the injector drive (valve opening) pulse which is output from ECM (PCM).
THROTTLE POS (Absolute Throttle Position, %)
When throttle position sensor is fully closed position, throttle opening is indicated as 0 % and 100 % for full open
position.

6-1-28 ENGINE GENERAL INFORMATION AND DIAGNOSIS (H27 ENGINE)
TP SENSOR VOLT (TP Sensor Output Voltage, V)
Throttle Position Sensor reading provides throttle valve opening information in the from of voltage.
O2S B1 S1 (HO2S Bank 1 Sensor 1 Output Voltage, V) / O2S B2 S1 (HO2S Bank 2 Sensor 1 Output
Voltage, V)
It indicates output voltage of HO2S SENSOR 1 installed on exhaust manifold (pre-catalyst).
O2S B1 S2 (HO2S Bank 1 Sensor 2 Output Voltage, V) / O2S B2 S2 (HO2S Bank 2 Sensor 2 Output
Voltage, V)
If indicates output voltage of HO2S SENSOR 2 installed on exhaust pipe (post-catalyst). It is used to detect cat-
alyst deterioration.
FUEL SYSTEM B1 (Fuel System Bank 1 Status) / Fuel System B2 (Fuel System Bank 2 Status)
Air/fuel ratio feedback loop status displayed as one of the followings.
OPEN : Open loop-has not yet satisfied conditions to go closed loop.
CLOSED : Closed loop-using oxygen sensor(s) as feedback for fuel control.
OPEN-DRIVE COND : Open loop due to driving conditions (Power enrichment, etc.).
OPEN SYS FAULT : Open loop due to detected system fault.
CLOSED-ONE O2S : Closed loop, but fault with at least one oxygen sensor may be using single oxygen sensor
for fuel control.
CALC LOAD (Calculated Load Value, %)
Engine load displayed as a percentage of maximum possible load. Value is calculated mathematically using the
formula : actual (current) intake air volume ÷ maximum possible intake air volume x 100%.
TOTAL FUEL TRIM (%)
The value of total fuel trim is obtained by putting values of short term fuel trim and long term fuel trim together.
This value indicates how much correction is necessary to keep the air/fuel mixture stoichiometrical.
CANIST PRG DUTY (EVAP Canister Purge Flow Duty, %)
This parameter indicates valve ON (valve open) time rate within a certain set cycle of EVAP canister purge valve
which controls the amount of EVAP purge.
VEHICLE SPEED (km/h, MPH)
It is computed based on pulse signals from vehicle speed sensor on transfer or transmission.
FUEL CUT (ON/OFF)
ON : Fuel being cut (output signal to injector is stopped).
OFF : Fuel not being cut.
MAP (Manifold Absolute Pressure, mmHg, kPa)
This parameter indicates the pressure in the intake manifold absolute pressure.
A/C CONDENSER FAN (ON/OFF)

EGR VALVE (%)
This parameter indicates opening rate of EGR valve which controls the amount of EGR flow.
A/C SWITCH (ON/OFF)
ON : Command for operation being output from A/C amplifier to compressor.
OFF : Command for operation not being output.
PSP SWITCH (ON/OFF)
ON : PSP switch detects P/S operation. (high P/S pressure)
OFF : PSP switch not detects P/S operation.
PNP SIGNAL (Transmission Range Switch, P/N or D range)
Whether the transmission range switch (P/N position switch) at P or N range or at R, D, 2 or L range is displayed.
If at P or N range, “P/N range” is displayed and if at R, D, 2 or L range, “D range” is displayed.
FUEL TANK LEVEL (%)
This parameter indicates approximate fuel level in the fuel tank. As the detectable range of the fuel level sensor
is set as 0 to 100 %, however, with some models whose fuel tank capacity is smaller, the indicated fuel level may
be only 70 % even when the fuel tank is full.
ELECTRIC LOAD (ON/OFF)
ON : Small light switch ON or rear window defogger switch ON.
OFF : Small light switch OFF and rear window defogger switch OFF.
VSS (4-A/T) (km/h, MPH)
It is computed by using pulse signals from vehicle speed sensor on 4-speed automatic transmission.
THROT POS LEVEL (Throttle Position Level For 4-A/T, “0”, “1”, “2”, “3”, “4”,“5”,“6” or “7”)
This parameter indicates which level (zone) the throttle valve opening is in.
The throttle opening is divided into 8 levels (zones) from “0” (about idle position) to “7” (about full open) and sig-
nals are assigned to each opening level (zone). PCM controls the automatic gear change of the automatic trans-
mission by using these signals according to the signal from the TP sensor.
GEAR POSITION (1ST, 2ND, 3RD or 4TH)
The gear position is determined on the basis of the command state signals generated from PCM to shift sole-
noids A and B (#1 and #2) and displayed as shown in the table below.
