Instrument Cluster Keep Alive Memory (KAM)

The instrument cluster contains a data storage area that saves pertinent data when the ignition is turned OFF. The data is lost when the battery power is removed. The data storage area is called the KAM. The instrument cluster uses the KAM in order to store the following information:
^ The trip odometer readings
^ The fuel data information
^ The DTCs
