Ignition: The scan tool displays 0 - 25.5 Volts. The Ignition represents the system voltage measured by the SDM at its ignition feed.

Driver Senselo: The scan tool displays 0 - 20 Volts. The SDM measures the voltage of the driver frontal low terminal voltage and displays it as Driver Senselo.

Passenger Senselo: The scan tool displays 0 - 20 Volts. The SDM measures the voltage of the passenger frontal low terminal voltage and displays it as Passenger Senselo.

Driver VDIF: The scan tool displays 0 - 500 Millivolts. The SDM measures the difference between driver frontal high and driver frontal low to determine voltage differential.

Passenger VDIF: The scan tool displays 0 - 500 Millivolts. The SDM measures the difference between passenger frontal high and driver frontal low terminals to determine voltage differential.

Driver Energy Reserve: The scan tool displays 0 - 30 Volts. The SDM measures the voltage of the driver frontal energy reserve capacitors inside the SDM and displays it as Driver Energy Reserve.

Passenger Energy Reserve: The scan tool displays 0 - 30 Volts. The SDM measures the voltage of the passenger frontal energy reserve capacitors inside the SDM and displays it as Passenger Energy Reserve.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
