This diagnostic applies to internal microprocessor integrity conditions within the hybrid powertrain control module (HPCM). The HPCM monitors
its ability to read and write to the memory. The HPCM processor stores identical data in two locations and compares the data to verify that the
stored data is correct.
Conditions for Running the DTC
* The control module runs the program to detect an internal fault when the key is ON.
* Ignition voltage is 8-18V.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The control module has detected that identical stored data is not the same when retrieved.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
* DTC P16F3 is a Type A DTC.
* The HPCM commands the battery energy control module (BECM) to open the high voltage contactor relays.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
DTC P16F3 is a Type A DTC.
