    • The VTD module determined that a memory malfunction is current.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

    • Stores a DTC B2734 in the VTD module memory.
    • SERVICE THEFT SYSTEM driver warning message will be displayed for this DTC.
    • The Security Indicator is illuminated.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

    • The VTD module no longer detects a memory malfunction.
