Actual Motor Current: The scan tool displays 0.0 amps
to 58.0 amps. The actual amount of current the Power Steering Control Module
(PSCM) is commanding to the Electric Power Steering (EPS) motor.
Battery Voltage: The scan tool displays 8-17 volts. The
level of battery voltage available at the PSCM.
Desired Motor Current: The scan tool displays 0.0 amps
to 58.0 amps. The amount of current the PSCM is attempting to command to the
EPS motor.
Engine Running: The scan tool displays Yes or No. Yes indicates
the PSCM is receiving it's class 2 message that the engine is running. No indicates
the class 2 message is ether missing, invalid, or the engine is not running.
Ignition Voltage: The scan tool displays 0-17 volts. The
level of ignition voltage available at the PSCM.
Limiting Motor Current: The scan tool displays up to 65 amps.
The amount of current last commanded to the EPS motor before the system went into
overload protection mode. 65 amps indicates that an overload protection incident
has not occurred.
Motor Voltage +: The scan tool displays 7.0-14.0 volts.
The amount of voltage being supplied to the EPS motor while turning right.
Motor Voltage -: The scan tool displays 7.0-14.0 volts.
The amount of voltage being supplied to the EPS motor while turning left.
Torque Sensor Amplified: The PSCM takes the detection coil voltage
and multiplies it. This amplified signal voltage is used by the PSCM to compensate
for lag in mechanical steering components.
Torque Sensor Main: The scan tool displays -17.2 N·m
to 17.2 N·m (12.6 lb ft). The amount of torque being applied to
the steering column shaft when turning the steering wheel. This signal voltage is
from the detection coil of the torque sensor which is then converted to N·m
by the PSCM. A - value indicates a left turn, a positive value indicates a right
turn.
Torque Sensor Sub: The scan tool displays -17.2 N·m
to 17.2N·m (12.6 lb ft). this signal voltage is from the compensation
coil of the torque sensor which is then converted to N·m by the PSCM. The Torque
Sensor Main and Torque Sensor Sub data parameters should behave the same as each other.
Tuning Profile: The scan tool displays 1-8. The number
of the steering calibration the PSCM has been programmed to. After replacement, the
PSCM must be programmed with the proper calibration using the Saturn Service Stall.
Vehicle Speed: The scan tool displays 0-255 km/h
(0-156 mph). The actual speed of the vehicle.
