Key On Engine Running (KOER) On-Demand Self- Test

KEY ON ENGINE RUNNING (KOER) ON-DEMAND SELF-TEST

Key on engine running (KOER) on-demand self-test is a functional test of the PCM performed on demand with the key on engine running and vehicle stopped. A check of certain inputs and outputs is made during operating conditions and at normal temperature. The brake pedal position, transmission control and power steering switch tests are part of KOER on-demand self-test and must be performed during this operation if applicable. These are described below. A fault must be present at the time of testing KOER on-demand self-test to detect the fault. When a fault is detected, a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) will be output on the data link at the end of the test when requested by a scan tool.
