System tests, using the scan tool , allow for the display of values as actually seen or commanded by the following systems:

    • PCM
    • IC
    • SDM
    • EBCM
    • BFC

The test types available are dependent upon the system selected, but may include the following types:

    • Data (analog inputs) -- displays analog values as seen by the system
    • Inputs and outputs -- perform the following functions:
       - Display digital values as seen by the system
       - Provide an indication of whether the input or output has cycled
    • Special functions (output controls) -- allow for the outputs of the system to be set at a desired value (ON or OFF)
    • Clear codes -- erases all DTCs stored for the system currently selected. If the malfunction is still present, the DTC may immediately reset
