Continuous Memory Codes (Soft Faults)

These codes indicate a fault that may or may not be present at time of testing. These codes are used to diagnose intermittent problems. Continuous Memory Codes are retrieved after KOEO SELF-TEST, see DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITION CHARTS  to find correct testing and repair procedures. Record and service codes in order received.

Some codes may turn on MIL/CHECK ENGINE light. Corresponding soft fault code will be retained in PCM memory. If fault does not reoccur within 40 warm-up cycles, PCM will automatically clear code.

After noting and/or repairing fault, clear codes from PCM memory. See AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE  . Intermittent faults may be caused by a sensor, connector or wiring-related problem. See INTERMITTENTS in TESTS W/O CODES article.

CAUTION: Continuous Memory Codes should be recorded when retrieved. These codes may be used to identify intermittent problems occurring after all KOEO and KOER codes have been repaired. Some Continuous Memory Code faults may not be valid after KOEO and KOER codes are serviced.
