IPC Keep Alive Memory

IMPORTANT: The keep alive memory (KAM) area is an integral part of the instrument panel cluster (IPC) microprocessor and cannot be serviced separately.

The IPC contains a data storage area which saves pertinent data when the ignition is turned off. This data is lost when battery power is interrupted. The KAM is used by the PC in order to store the following information:
^ The trip odometer readings
^ The fuel data information
^ The DTCs
