Circuit Description

This DTC indicates that the PCM's internal EEPROM is not flashed with any vehicle software. If you install a service PCM and do not flash the EEPROM, the engine will not run. This DTC indicates that an un-flashed PCM causes the engine cranks but will not run situation.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The PCM is powered-up.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

No software data is present in the PCM.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

•	The PCM illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) when the diagnostic runs and fails.

•	The PCM records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The PCM stores this information in the Freeze Frame and/or Failure Records.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

•	The PCM turns OFF the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.

•	A last test failed, or current DTC, clears when the diagnostic runs and does not fail.

•	A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other emission related diagnostic.

•	Use a scan tool in order to clear the MIL and the DTC.
