Circuit Description

The EEPROM write error detection is handled inside the control module. No external circuits are involved.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The microprocessor runs the program to detect a write error whenever it writes to the EEPROM. The only requirements are voltage and ground. This program runs even if the voltage is out of the valid operating range.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The microprocessor tries to write to the memory location 3 times, if the write is not accomplished the code is set.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

The DTC clears when the microprocessor makes a successful write to the EEPROM.

Diagnostic Aids

Important: The DIM must be replaced if this DTC is retrieved from the DIM as either current or history. If this DTC is retrieved from any other module as a history DTC only do not replace the module.

    • This DTC may be stored as a history DTC with out affecting the operation of the module. If stored only as a history DTC and not retrieved as a current DTC, do not replace the module.
    • If this DTC is retrieved as both a current and history DTC, replace the module.
