Circuit Description
An Electronically Erasable Programmable Read Only (EEPROM) is used to contain program information and calibrations required for engine, transmission and powertrain diagnostics operation. Powertrain Control Module (PCM) uses a value called a checksum for error detection of software. Checksum is a value that is equal to all numbers in software added together. PCM adds all values in software and if that value does not equal checksum value, a DTC will set.
Condition for setting this DTC is:
- PCM detects more than 3 incorrect checksums.
