Key On Engine Running (KOER) Self Test

DESCRIPTION
Key On Engine Running (KOER) Self-Test is a functional test of the powertrain control system performed on-demand with the engine running and vehicle stopped. A check of the inputs and outputs is made during operating conditions and at normal temperature. A fault has to be present at the time of testing for the KOER Self-Test to detect the fault. When a fault is detected, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be output on the data link when requested by a scan tool. Technicians may be required to perform some action on certain vehicles during KOER in order to test some switches.
