The Test Limit is a two byte unsigned numeric value $00-$FFFF (0 -65535 Dec). With the exception of Misfire (On-Board Diagnostic Monitor ID A2-A9), all specific Max Test limits shall be $7FFF (32767 Dec). Test values less than or equal to the Max test limit will be shown as $00, indicating a pass.
Test values greater than Max test limit will be show as actual counted value above threshold i.e.
