Torque Request Signal (If Equipped)

2001 Chevrolet Monte Carlo V6-3.8L VIN KSECTION Torque Request Signal (If Equipped)
The scan tool range is 0-100 percent. Represents the PWM signal from the Electronic Brake and traction control module. The EBTCM reduces the traction control desired torque signal pulse width when a drive wheel slippage situation is detected. The PCM monitors the traction control desired torque signal and reduces drive wheel slippage as necessary by retarding spark timing, decreasing boost solenoid PWM, or increasing air/fuel ratio. The PCM can also turn OFF up to three fuel injectors if the traction control desired torque signal indicates a large enough amount of drive wheel slippage. A problem with the traction control desired torque signal should cause DTC P1571 to set.
