Accumulating PCM Data

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 16 other vehicles, including the 2011 Mercury Mariner, 2011 Lincoln Navigator L, 2011 Lincoln Navigator, 2011 Lincoln MKX, and 2011 Lincoln MKT. 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 parameter identification (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 concern is occurring to prevent improper diagnosis. Data should be accumulated during different operating conditions and based on the customer description of the intermittent concern. Compare this data with the known good data values. Refer to TYPICAL DIAGNOSTIC REFERENCE VALUES . This requires recording data in four conditions for comparison: 1) KOEO, 2) Hot Idle, 3) 48 km/h (30 mph), and 4) 89 km/h (55 mph)  .
