Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Information






Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) information CEM-U013100

The diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is stored if the control module detects that:
- Communication with Power Steering Control Module (PSCM)is interrupted or lost.
The control module's test for the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) starts in the event of:
- Ignition switch position II.

Note! The control module can only detect the fault once the test has been started and the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is stored when the conditions are met.

Substitute value
