Scan Tool Data List

2006 Chevrolet Cobalt SS, 4D Sedan, StandardSECTION Scan Tool Data List
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

The Engine Scan Tool Data List contains all engine related parameters that are available on the scan tool. The list is arranged in alphabetical order. A given parameter may appear in any one of the data lists, and in some cases may appear more than once, or in more than one data list in order to group certain related parameters together.

    Use the Engine Scan Tool Data List only after the following is determined:

  • The Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle is completed.
  • No DTCs
  • On-board diagnostics are functioning properly.
  • Scan tool values from a properly running engine may be used for comparison with the engine you are diagnosing. The Engine Scan Tool Data List represents values that would be seen on a normal running engine.

IMPORTANT: A scan tool that displays faulty data should not be used, and the problem should be reported to the scan tool manufacturer. Use of a faulty scan tool can result in misdiagnosis and unnecessary parts replacement.

Only the parameters listed below are referred to in this information for use in diagnosis. If all values are within the typical range described below, refer to Symptoms - Engine Controls for diagnosis.

The column labeled Data List indicates where a parameter can be located on the scan tool. Refer to the scan tool operating manual for the exact locations of the data lists. The following is a description of each term listed:
