NOTE: The causes shown may not be a complete list of all potential problems, and it is possible that there may be other causes.
  • The vehicle is new from the factory.
  • Battery or Powertrain Control Module (PCM) had recently been disconnected.
  • An OBD monitor failure occurred before completion of an OBD drive cycle.
  • PCM Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) have recently been cleared with a scan tool.

Code Tech Notes

This code just means that the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) didn't complete a full diagnosis cycle, and is set when the battery has been disconnected, codes have been cleared, or sometimes even when the vehicle has been towed. No scanner is necessary to clear the code, driving the vehicle for a few minutes (sometimes more) to complete the diagnosis cycle will clear the code. Clearing the code will reset the light unless other codes are present.
