Manufacturer Applications
19 1. Engine output (computed value) - momentary.
2. Inducted air mass.
3. Road speed - momentary.
4. Injection time (average of all cylinders).
20 1. Display group 20 not currently assigned.
21 1. Display group 21 not currently assigned.
22 1. Torque reduction stages (see note below).
2. Ignition timing retardation - because of ASR (only if engine cold -
coolant temp. less than 20°C).
3. Reduced engine torque.
4. Non-reduced engine torque.
NOTE: Traction control (ASR) information, computed from data supplied on wheel slip
through the ABS ECU. As required of the system, the engine torque is reduced via the
engine management ECU; this is achieved in differing manners according to the
temperature of the engine and the degree of torque reduction required - with engine
cold (coolant temperature less than 20°C) small reduction (stages 1 to 5) by ignition
timing retardation, large reduction (stages 6 to 12) by briefly switching off individual
injectors; with a warm engine (coolant temperature in excess of 40°C), all reductions
are achieved by briefly switching off individual injectors.
23 1. Gearbox signal shift signal (see Note 1 below).
2. Gear recognition signal and gearshift signal (see Note 2 below).
3. Aircon compressor and HRW signal - 1st digit indicates the Aircon
compressor, 2nd digit indicates the heated rear window, 0 = off, 1 = on.
4. Aircon compressor cut-out - 0 = compressor has not been switched off
by the engine ECU, 1 = compressor has been switched off by the
engine ECU.
NOTE 1: '01V' automatic gearboxes only - all others will always show 0. Upshift or
downshift signal. With vehicle stationary, selector lever in position R = 0,selector lever
in positions 2, 3, 4, D, P, or N = 1. With vehicle moving above 14 km/h, read-out of 0
indicates ignition retardation selected for downshift whilst a read-out of 1 indicates
ignition retardation selected for upshift.
NOTE 2: First digit indicates gear recognition signal: a read-out of 0 = selector lever in
R, D, 4, 3 or 2, whilst a read-out of 1 = P or N selected. Second digit indicates ignition
timing retardation status: a read-out of 0 = ignition timing retardation not active, whilst a
read-out of 1 = ignition timing retardation active (these signals are very brief). '00' will
always be shown for vehicles without the '01V' automatic gearbox.
99 1. Engine speed.
2. Engine load.
3. Coolant temperature.
4. OFF or ON Lambda control.
