Circuit/System Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2019 Chevrolet Malibu. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Whenever the propulsion system goes active, the diagnostic reads its internal timer and evaluates the results from the wake-up events that could have occurred. If the ECM did not receive feedback from the Hybrid/EV Powertrain Control Module 2 that the alarm clock was set and the ECM did not wake up, then the DTC will set.
