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 -103 to
+3119 kPa (-14 to +452 psi). This parameter represents the A/C
refrigerant pressure sensor voltage signal converted to pressure.
A/C High Side Pressure Sensor: The scan tool displays 0.00-5.00 Volts.
This parameter represents the A/C refrigerant pressure sensor signal.
A/C Request: 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.
A/C Relay Circuit Short to Volts: The scan tool displays Yes
or No. Yes is displayed if the A/C relay control circuit is shorted to voltage.
A/C Relay Circuit Open or Short to Ground: The scan tool displays
Yes or No. Yes is displayed if the A/C relay control circuit is open or shorted to
ground.
A/C Relay Command: 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 Commanded A/C displays On.
