Conditions for Running the Diagnostics

This diagnostic runs continuously when the keyswitch is in the ON position or when the engine is running.

Conditions for Setting the Fault Codes

The Engine Control Module (ECM) detected the crankcase breather heater signal voltage was out of range high for more than 10 seconds.

Action Taken When the Fault Code is Active

The ECM logs the fault code immediately when the diagnostic runs and fails.

The crankcase breather heater will be disabled.

Conditions for Clearing the Fault Code

To validate the repair, perform a key cycle, start the engine and let it idle for 1 minute.
