Scan Tool Data Definitions
ECT
The scan tool displays -40 to +151°C (-40 to +304°F). The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor is mounted in the coolant stream. The PCM/ECM applies 5 volts to the ECT sensor circuit. The sensor is a thermistor which changes internal resistance as temperature changes. When the sensor is cold (internal resistance high), the PCM/ECM monitors a high signal voltage and interprets it as a cold engine. As the sensor warms (internal resistance decreases), the voltage signal decreases and the PCM/ECM interprets the lower voltage as a warm engine.
FC Relay 1 Command
The scan tool displays OK or Fault. This parameter indicates the state of the driver circuit for this device.
FC Relay 2 and 3 Command
The scan tool displays OK or Fault. This parameter indicates the state of the driver circuit for this device.

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
