DTC P1181 Misfire Detected No EBCM/VCM Serial Data:




EBCM:






CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
This diagnostic will detect a serial data malfunction which could inhibit the transfer of ABS rough road data to the Vehicle Control Module (VCM). DTC P1381 is a type D DTC.

CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC

^ DTC P0300 is set and requesting the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) on.
^ No rough road data is available from the EBCM.

ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) will not be illuminated. A history DTC P1381 will be stored.

CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE MIL/DTC
The VCM turns the MIL off after 3 consecutive driving trips without a fault condition present. A history DTC will clear if no fault conditions have been detected for 40 warm-up cycles (coolant temperature has risen 40°F from the start-up coolant temperature and the engine coolant temperature exceeds 160°F during that same ignition cycle) or the scan tool clearing feature has been used.

TEST DESCRIPTION
Number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the Diagnostic Table.
