Circuit Description
The PCM used in this vehicle utilizes an Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM). The EEPROM contains program information and the calibrations required for powertrain diagnostics operation.
Unlike the PROM used in past applications, the EEPROM is not replaceable. When the PCM is replaced or a calibration update is required, the PCM must be programmed using approved Techline equipment.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The PCM does not contain the correct program required to operate the vehicle.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The PCM will not illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). |
| • | The PCM will store conditions which were present when the DTC set as Failure Records data only. This information will not be stored as Freeze Frame data. |
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
| • | A History DTC will clear after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles have occurred without a malfunction. |
| • | The DTC can be cleared by using the scan tool Clear Info function. |
