Circuit Description
The non volatile memory check sum and write error detection is handled inside the control module. No external circuits are involved.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The microprocessor runs the program to detect a check sum error after each "power up". This program runs only if the DTC B1327 is not set as current DTCs.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The microprocessor sets this DTC if it can not write to non volatile memory. The DTC is also set if the microprocessor can not run an accurate check sum on the non volatile memory.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The VTD module will store a code B2734 and no driver warning message will be displayed.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
The DTC clears when the microprocessor runs either a successful check sum test or a successful write to the non volatile memory.
Diagnostic Aids
