An attempt to program/write to the internal EEPROM failed. Also checks at powerdown. One Trip Fault. Three good trips to turn off the MIL.





Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting Procedure.

1. SCAN TOOL DISPLAYS A WRITE FAILURE
1. With a scan tool, perform the SRI Memory Test.

Does scan tool display Write Failure?

Yes

- Replace and program the Powertrain Control Module.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Powertrain Verification Test.

No

- Go To 2

2. SCAN TOOL DISPLAYS A WRITE REFUSED
1. With the a scan tool, perform the SRI Memory Test.

Does the scan tool display Write Refused?

Yes

- Go To 3

No

- Go To 4

3. PCM REFUSED 2ND TEST
1. With a scan tool, perform the SRI Memory Test a third time.

NOTE: Retest the SRI Memory two more times.

Does the scan tool display Write Refused again?

Yes

- Replace and program the Powertrain Control Module.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Powertrain Verification Test.

No

- Test Complete.

4. SCAN TOOL DISPLAYS SRI MILEAGE INVALID
1. With a scan tool, perform the SRI Memory Test.

Does the scan tool display SRI Mileage Invalid?

Yes

- Update the mileage and retest the SRI Memory.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Powertrain Verification Test.

No

- Go To 5

5. COMPARE SRI MILEAGE WITH ODOMETER
1. Compare the SRI Mileage stored with the Instrument Panel Odometer.

Is the mileage within the specified range displayed on the scan tool?

Yes

- Test Complete.

No

- Update the mileage and retest the SRI Memory.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Powertrain Verification Test.
