Required sensor/components	The sensors and components that are used by the ecm to detect malfunction.
Frequency of operation	The number of times that the ecm checks for malfunction per driving cycle. Once per driving cycle” means that the ecm detects malfunction only one time during a single driving cycle. Continuous” means that the ecm detects malfunction every time when enabling condition is met.
Duration	The minimum time that the ecm must sense a continuous deviation in the monitored value(s) before setting a dtc. This timing begins after the ”typical enabling conditions” are met.
Malfunction thresholds	Beyond this value, the ecm will conclude that there is malfunction and set a dtc.
