Action Taken When the DTC Sets

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The powertrain control module (PCM) stores the DTC in history after the first failure but will not illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL).
The PCM records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The PCM stores the failure information in the scan tools Freeze Frame/Failure Records.
The Service Vehicle Soon (SVS) light may be illuminated.
