Theory of Operation

After the controller is reset, the microprocessor checks the integrity of each RAM location by writing to it and reading back from it. The read value should be the same as the written value. MIL on after 10 seconds of vehicle operation and transmission will be placed in limp-in.

- When Monitored:
One time after the ignition is turned to the run position.

- Set Condition:
The read value does not match the written value in any RAM location.
