Continuous Memory Codes (Intermittent 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. Some codes may turn on MIL/CHECK ENGINE light. Corresponding intermittent fault trouble 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 memory. See CLEARING CODES. Intermittent faults may be caused by a sensor, connector or wiring-related problem. See INTERMITTENTS in TESTS W/O CODES article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE section.
CAUTION:
Continuous Memory Codes should be recorded when retrieved. These codes may be used to identify intermittent problems that exist after all KOEO and KOER codes have been repaired and a Code 111 (pass code) has been obtained. Some Continuous Memory Code faults may not be valid after KOEO and KOER codes are serviced.
