SAFETY MAINTENANCESETUP OPERATIONOVERVIEW
Control Modules
Control Modules are individual computers that operate and monitor different systems
in the vehicle� Control Modules vary depending on manufacturer�
ID codes are assigned to each Control Module, which are defined by the vehicle’s Communication Protocol�
For example, a vehicle may use ID code $7E8 for the PCM and $7E9 for the TCM�

Common Control Modules
I/M Monitors
Inspection and Maintenance diagnostic tests that the Control Modules
perform on specific sub-systems of the vehicle�
There are two types of Monitors:
• Continuous: Monitors that perform tests
all the time while the engine is running�
• Non-Continuous: Monitors that require
specific operating conditions to be met
during a Drive Cycle in order for the
Monitors to run their testing sequences�
Note: Not all Monitors are supported by all vehicles�
