Conditions for Setting the DTC
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 GMC Yukon XL, 2008 GMC Yukon, 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2008 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2008 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The EEPROM, RAM and ROM, and ECM Microprocessor do self checks against one another and the data does not match causing the DTC to set.
