PCM System Info
The PCM-555 control module contains an area of memory that is used to store
helpful text information for a service technician. This information consists of
many lines of text which describe basic engine settings, capacities, etc, as well
as PCM software revision information. The System Info data is entered into the
PCM's memory at the factory and may be accessed as follows:
After selecting the "PCM System Info" option from the main PCM menu the
scanner will begin uploading the system information. A bar graph indicator will
be displayed indicating the scan tool's progress.
Once the system information is uploaded into the scan tool's memory it will be
displayed. Use the ▲ and ▼ keys to scroll through the information. Press the
NO key to return to the main PCM menu.
PCM Functions
The PCM Functions menu option allows a technician to access a variety of PCM
functional tests and settings as shown in Figure 18.
Output Tests
The Output Test menu option provides a technician with the ability to exercise
various PCM actuators and controls in order to verify correct operation. Select-
ing the "Output Tests" menu choice displays a sub-menu of items available as
shown in Figure 19.
Supported output tests will differ based upon the type of engine you are ser-
vicing. Some items apply only to engines equipped with DTS (digital throttle
and shift) for example. An engine equipped with sequential fuel injection will
support the firing of individual fuel injectors whereas an engine equipped with
an ECM-555 system, which is bank-fired, will not support individual injector
firing. Always refer to the engine manufacturer's service manual for details on
the specific output tests available on the engine you are servicing.
