Circuit Description
The internal fault detection is handled inside the control module. No external circuits are involved.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The microprocessor runs the program to detect an internal fault when power up is commanded. The only requirements are voltage and ground. This program runs even if the voltage is out of the valid operating range.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | The control module detects an internal write malfunction. |
| • | The control module detects an internal checksum malfunction. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The microprocessor refuses all additional inputs.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present. |
| • | A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold, without a repeat of the malfunction. |
Diagnostic Aids
| • | This DTC may be stored as a history DTC without affecting the operation of the module. If stored only as a history DTC and not retrieved as a current DTC, do not replace the module. |
| • | If this DTC is retrieved as both a current and history DTC, replace the module. |
Step | Action | Yes | No |
|---|---|---|---|
1 | Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check for the system exhibiting the symptom? | Go to Step 2 | Go to Control Module References in Data Link Communications for the applicable Diagnostic System Check |
2 |
Is DTC retrieved as a current DTC? | Go to Step 3 | Go to Diagnostic Aids |
