SFI SYSTEM(w/ Canister Pump Module) DEFINITION OF TERMS

Definition |
|---|---|
Monitor Description |
Description of what the ECM monitors and how it detects malfunctions (monitoring purpose and its details). |
Related DTCs |
A group of diagnostic trouble codes that are output by the ECM based on the same malfunction detection logic. |
Typical Enabling Condition |
Preconditions that allow the ECM to detect malfunctions. With all preconditions satisfied, the ECM stores DTCs when monitored value(s) exceeds malfunction threshold(s). |
Sequence of Operation |
Order of monitor priority, applied if multiple sensors and components are involved in a single malfunction detection process. Each sensor and component is monitored in turn, when previous detection operation has completed. |
Required Sensors/Components |
The sensors and components used by the ECM to detect each malfunction. |
Frequency of Operation |
The number of times the ECM checks for each malfunction during each driving cycle. "Once per driving cycle" means ECM only performs checks for that malfunction once during a single driving cycle. "Continuous" means the ECM performs checks for that malfunction whenever enabling conditions are met. |
Duration |
Minimum time for which the ECM must detect a continuous deviation in monitored value(s) in order to store a DTC. Timing begins when Typical Enabling Conditions met. |
Typical Malfunction Thresholds |
The value beyond which the ECM determines malfunctions exist and stores DTCs. |
MIL Operation |
Timing of MIL illumination after a malfunction is detected. "Immediate" means the ECM illuminates the MIL as soon as a malfunction is detected. "2 driving cycles" means the ECM illuminates the MIL if the same malfunction is detected a second time during the next sequential driving cycle. |
