Circuit Description
The module calibrations are stored in the EPROM. When the ignition is turned ON, the module performs internal tests on the EPROM in order to determine the integrity of its non-volatile memory. The module compares its previously stored checksum with the checksum calculated when the ignition is first turned ON. If the 2 checksums do not match, the module will set B1557 as current.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | The stored checksum does not match the calculated checksum. |
| • | The condition must occur when the ignition is turned ON. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | A DTC B1557 is stored in the IPC memory. |
| • | The IPC uses default values for any memory address in the EPROM that is corrupt. |
| • | No driver warning message is displayed for this DTC. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | This DTC requires an ignition cycle in order to change from current to history. |
| • | The module no longer detects an internal memory malfunction (checksum error). |
Diagnostic Aids
Since the EPROM cannot be removed from the module and DTC B1558 is an internal IPC malfunction, the IPC may need to be replaced.
Step | Action | Value(s) | Yes | No |
|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Was the Diagnostic System Check performed? | -- | Go to Step 2 | |
2 |
Does the scan tool indicate that DTC B1557 is current? | -- | Go to Step 3 | System OK |
3 | Replace the IPC. Refer to Instrument Cluster Replacement . Did you complete the repair? | -- | -- |
