If the engine runs lean or rich (lambda deviates from 1), the short-term fuel trim injection period is increased or decreased so that lambda; =1. The average value of this parameter from different engine speed and load ranges is used for the different fuel trim adaptations (idling, lower part load and upper part load) so that the short-term fuel trim is always around 1.

If the engine runs lean or rich (lambda deviates from 1), the short-term fuel trim injection period is increased or decreased so that lambda=1. The average value of this parameter from different engine speed and load ranges is used for in the different fuel trim adaptations (idling, lower partial load and upper partial load) so that the short-term fuel trim is always around 1.

Measurement range: 0-6553.5 kPa.
The parameter indicates absolute pressure.
The engine control module (ECM) calculates the target value for "Fuel pressure". The value indicates what the fuel pressure should be.
Fuel temperature (°C)
Measurement range: -40° to +215° C.
The engine control module (ECM) derives the temperature from the fuel temperature sensor signal. The fuel temperature sensor is integrated in the fuel pressure sensor.
Fuel pump (FP), workload (%)
Measurement range: 0-100%.
The value shows the PWM signal between the engine control module (ECM) and the fuel pump (FP) control module. A higher pulse ratio gives a higher fuel pressure. At 400 kPa the pulse ratio must be approximately 35% (5%). The values are not relevant if the battery voltage is too low.
Oil level (%)
Measurement range 0-100%.
The value indicates the oil level signal pulse ratio from the PWM signal generated by the oil level sensor. The signal passes between the engine control module (ECM) and the oil level sensor. The value must be between 17-83% depending on the oil level.
Measurement range 0-100%.
The engine control module (ECM) receives the value from the brake control module (BCM) via the Control area network (CAN). The value indicates the brake pedal position.
When the brake pedal is not affected the value is approximately 0%. The value increases as the brake pedal is pressed.
Measurement range: 0-319 km/h
The vehicle speed is shown from the brake control module (BCM) via the controller area network (CAN).
Engine cooling fan (FC) (%)
Measurement range: 0-100%
Pulse width modulation (PWM) signals transmitted by the engine control module (ECM) to the engine cooling fan (FC) control module to control the speed of the engine cooling fan (FC).
Camshaft shift angle, (intake/ exhaust) (°)
Measurement range: between -256 CA and +256 CA.
The engine control module (ECM) calculates the value by comparing the position of the camshaft with the position of the crankshaft. The value indicates the angle of the camshaft. This is the offset of the camshaft 0 position in relation to the crankshaft TDC (0). (The camshaft 0-position = the set alignment of the camshaft position with the crankshaft.)
Desired value for the camshaft shift angle, intake/exhaust
Measurement range: between -256 CA and +256 CA.
The value indicates the target value of the engine control module (ECM) for "Camshaft shift angle " (actual shift angle). The "Desired value for the camshaft shift angle" can be altered by changing the engine speed (RPM)/load.
Measurement range: between -256 CA and +256 CA.
The value indicates the difference between the "Camshaft shift angle" (actual shift angle) and the desired value for the camshaft shift angle (target value for the engine control module (ECM)). Changing the "Camshaft shift angle" is achieved by changing the engine speed (RPM)/load. The normal value varies depending on how far the camshaft is operated and the temperature/grade of the engine oil, although the value must never deviate by more than between 10 degrees for longer than approximately 4 seconds.
Camshaft adaptation, intake/exhaust (CA)
Measurement range: between -511 to +511 degrees.
The value indicates the camshaft deviation from the basic setting.
The value is 0 degrees when the camshaft position (angle) corresponds with the crankshaft position (angle). Normal value is 0 degrees 8 degrees.
The value is updated following adaptation of the camshaft position (angle position). The adaptation is performed when the camshaft control is not active (fully returned camshaft).
Misfire counter
The engine control module (ECM) calculates the overall total for the number of misfires affecting emissions or causing catalytic converter damage for all cylinders during a certain number of crankshaft revolutions.
The normal value is 0 (no misfiring).
Misfire counter, cyl x
The value indicates the number of misfires for each cylinder during the present operating cycle.
The value is affected by misfires which affect emissions and cause catalytic converter damage.
The normal value is 0 (no misfiring).
The value is reset when the ignition is switched off.
Coolant level sensor
The engine control module (ECM) calculates the status from the engine coolant level switch.
The status indicates the engine coolant level in the expansion tank.
If necessary the engine control module (ECM) runs an adaptation of the throttle unit by guiding the throttle to the limit positions (open/closed) so that it " learns" the parameters of that actual throttle unit.
The status indicates if the adaptation has been run or not.
OK = Adaptation of the throttle unit has run.
NOT OK = Adaptation of the throttle unit has not run.
Note. The basic conditions must be met before an adaptation of the throttle unit can be carried out.
Automatic transmission
Only vehicles that have an automatic transmission.
The engine control module (ECM) calculates the status of the signal from the transmission control module (TCM) via CAN.
ON = the gear selector is in position "D" or another gear is selected.
OFF = the gear selector is in position "P" or "N"
The cruise control must be on when reading this parameter.
OFF= resume button unaffected.
ON = resume button activated.
The cruise control must be on when reading this parameter.
OFF= SET+ unaffected.
ON = SET+ affected.
The cruise control must be on when reading this parameter.
OFF= SET- unaffected.
ON = SET- affected.
The engine control module (ECM) calculates the value from the stop lamp switch.
ON = stop lamp switch on.
OFF = stop lamp switch unaffected.
The signal transmitted by the engine control module (ECM) for activating the air conditioning (A/C) compressor relay.
OFF = The engine control module (ECM) does not activate the air conditioning (A/C) compressor relay.
ON = The engine control module (ECM) activates the air conditioning (A/C) compressor relay.
Oil pressure sensor
The engine control module (ECM) calculates the value from the oil pressure switch signal.
ON = the oil pressure switch circuit is closed, signal to the driver information module (DIM) via CAN for lit oil pressure warning lamp.
OFF = the oil pressure switch circuit is open, signal to the driver information module (DIM) via CAN for oil pressure warning lamp not lit.
C/L= Closed Loop, fuel trim is active
O/L = Open Loop, fuel trim is not active
OFF = The engine control module (ECM) does not request fuel pump (FP) relay activation.
ON = The engine control module (ECM) requests fuel pump (FP) relay activation via CAN to the central electronic module (CEM).
Measurement range: 0-2000 hPa, absolute pressure (boost pressure- absolute zero pressure(0 hPa)).
The Engine control module (ECM) receives information about the current boost pressure via the boost pressure sensor.
The actual value must correspond to the desired value 50hPa.
Measurement range: 0-2000 hPa, absolute pressure (boost pressure- absolute zero pressure(0 hPa)).
The engine control module (ECM) receives information about the current throttle angle via the throttle position sensor, speed (RPM), engine load, knocks etc. These parameters are used to calculate the boost pressure that is permitted in various operating conditions.
