IMPORTANT:
This DTC may be stored as a history DTC without affecting
the operation of the BCM. If stored only as a history DTC and
not retrieved as a current DTC, do not replace the BCM or
ECM.
Using the Failure Records data may help locate an
intermittent condition. If you cannot duplicate the DTC, the
information in the Failure Records can help determine how
many miles since the DTC set. The Fail Counter and Pass
Counter can help determine how many ignition cycles that
the diagnostic test reported a pass and/or a fail.
