Accumulating PCM Data

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Mercury Mariner and 2007 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

PCM data can be accumulated in a number of ways. This includes circuit measurements with a digital multimeter (DMM) or scan tool PID data. Acquisition of PCM PID data using a scan tool is one of the easiest ways to gather information. Gather as much data as possible when the fault is occurring to prevent improper diagnosis. Data should be accumulated during different operating conditions and based on the customer description of the intermittent fault. Compare this data with the known good data values located in the TYPICAL DIAGNOSTIC REFERENCE VALUES . This requires recording data in 4 conditions for comparison: 1) KOEO, 2) HOT IDLE, 3) 48 km/h (30 mph), and 4) 89 km/h (55 mph).
