D The fault identified by the diagnostic test is currently
active.
D The fault has been active during this ignition cycle.
D The operating conditions at the time of the failure.
Remember, a fuel trim Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
may be triggered by a list of vehicle faults. Make use of
all information available (other DTCs stored, rich or lean
condition, etc.) when diagnosing a fuel trim fault.
COMPREHENSIVE COMPONENT
MONITOR DIAGNOSTIC OPERATION
Comprehensive component monitoring diagnostics are
required to monitor emissions-related input and output
powertrain components.
Input Components
Input components are monitored for circuit continuity
and out-of-range values. This includes rationality check-
ing. Rationality checking refers to indicating a fault when
the signal from a sensor does not seem reasonable, i.e.
Throttle Position (TP) sensor that indicates high throttle
position at low engine loads or Manifold Absolute Pres-
sure (MAP) voltage. Input components may include, but
are not limited to, the following sensors:
D Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS).
D Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor.
D Throttle Position (TP) sensor.
D Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor.
D Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor.
D MAP sensor.
In addition to the circuit continuity and rationality check,
the ECT sensor is monitored for its ability to achieve a
steady state temperature to enable closed loop fuel con-
trol.
Output Components
Output components are diagnosed for proper response
to control module commands. Components where func-
tional monitoring is not feasible will be monitored for cir-
cuit continuity and out-of-range values if applicable.
Output components to be monitored include, but are not
limited to the following circuit:
D Idle Air Control (IAC) Motor.
D Controlled Canister Purge Valve.
D A/C relays.
D Cooling fan relay.
D VSS output.
D Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) control.
Refer to "Engine Control Module" and the sections on
Sensors in General Descriptions.
Passive and Active Diagnostic Tests
A passive test is a diagnostic test which simply monitors
a vehicle system or component. Conversely, an active

test, actually takes some sort of action when performing
diagnostic functions, often in response to a failed pas-
sive test. For example, the Electric Exhaust Gas Recir-
culation (EEGR) diagnostic active test will force the
EEGR valve open during closed throttle deceleration
and/or force the EEGR valve closed during a steady
state. Either action should result in a change in manifold
pressure.
Intrusive Diagnostic Tests
This is any Euro On-Board test run by the Diagnostic
Management System which may have an effect on ve-
hicle performance or emission levels.
Warm-Up Cycle
A warm-up cycle means that engine at temperature
must reach a minimum of 70_C (160_F) and rise at least
22_C (40_F) over the course of a trip.
Freeze Frame
Freeze Frame is an element of the Diagnostic Manage-
ment System which stores various vehicle information at
the moment an emissions-related fault is stored in
memory and when the MIL is commanded on. These
data can help to identify the cause of a fault.
Failure Records
Failure Records data is an enhancement of the EOBD
Freeze Frame feature. Failure Records store the same
vehicle information as does Freeze Frame, but it will
store that information for any fault which is stored in
Euro On-Board memory, while Freeze Frame stores in-
formation only for emission-related faults that command
the MIL on.
COMMON EOBD TERMS
Diagnostic
When used as a noun, the word diagnostic refers to any
Euro On-Board test run by the vehicle's Diagnostic Man-
agement System. A diagnostic is simply a test run on a
system or component to determine if the system or com-
ponent is operating according to specification. There are
many diagnostics, shown in the following list:
D Misfire.
D Oxygen sensors (O2S)
D Heated oxygen sensor (HO2S)
D Electric Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EEGR)
D Catalyst monitoring
Enable Criteria
The term "enable criteria" is engineering language for
the conditions necessary for a given diagnostic test to
run. Each diagnostic has a specific list of conditions
which must be met before the diagnostic will run.
"Enable criteria" is another way of saying "conditions re-
quired."
