- Fail: the component is malfunctioning.
- Confirm that the component is either pass or fail.
- Select the component and press enter. The accuracy test value appears if the monitor status is either pass or fail.
- Check component status
- Compare the test value with the minimum test limit (min limit) and maximum test limit (max limit).
- If the test value is between the minimum and
maximum test limits, the component is functioning
normally. If not, the component is malfunctioning.
The test value is usually not near the test limits. If the test value is near the test limits, the component is likely to malfunction in the near future.
Hint:
The monitor result might on rare occasions be pass even if the malfunction indicator lamp (mil) is illuminated. This indicates the system malfunctioned on a previous driving cycle. This might be caused by an intermittent problem.
