Scan Tool Data List

Important: If the suspect gage is the speedometer, the drive wheels of the vehicle must be raised and the transmission must be placed in drive or first gear.

1. Ignition ON, with the scan tool, perform the IPC Gage Sweep Test in the IPC Output Controls. Verify that all gage dials move from minimum to the maximum value and back to the gage minimum value.

⇒	If the gage does not perform the IPC Gage Sweep Test, replace the IPC.

2. Start the engine, with the vehicle drive wheels raised and place the transmission in drive or first gear. Verify that the speedometer value matches the scan tool Vehicle Speed parameter in the ECM/PCM Engine Data List.

⇒	If the speedometer is incorrect, test or replace the IPC.

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
