Circuit Description
The body control module (PZM) contains a data storage area which can save pertinent data when the ignition is turned OFF. The keep alive memory (KAM) data is lost if battery power is removed from the PZM.

DTC B1552 indicates that the keep alive memory (KAM) has been reset. This is a normal occurrence whenever power or ground is removed from the PZM, such as during a battery disconnect.
