71 | Invalid Serial Data Received |
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | The ignition is ON. |
| • | Ignition voltage is greater than 8 volts. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The powertrain control module (PCM) or body control module (BCM) diagnoses a condition preventing the engine control portion of the traction control function and sends a serial data message to the EBCM indicating that torque reduction is not allowed. The PCM or BCM will typically set a DTC and the EBCM will set this DTC.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The EBCM disables the traction control system (TCS) until the DTC becomes a history DTC. |
| • | The Traction Off indicator turns ON. |
| • | The ABS remains functional. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | The condition for the DTC is no longer present and the DTC is cleared with a scan tool. |
| • | The EBCM automatically clears the history DTC when a current DTC is not detected in 100 consecutive drive cycles. |
