CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC

ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS

The ECM illuminates the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) and records the operating conditions in the Freeze Frame on the second consecutive drive trip that the diagnostic runs and fails.

CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE MIL/DTC

^ The ECM turns off the MIL after three consecutive drive trips that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.

^ A History DTC clears after forty consecutive warm-up cycles if no failures report by this diagnostic or any other emission related diagnostic.

^ The ECM battery voltage is interrupted.

^ The scan tool clears the MIL/DTC.
