Instrument Cluster Keep Alive Memory (KAM)

The instrument cluster contains a data storage area that saves data when the ignition switch is turned off. The data is lost when you remove the battery power. This data storage area is referred to as Keep Alive Memory (KAM). The instrument cluster uses this data storage area in order to store the following information:
^ The trip odometer
^ The fuel data
^ DTC information

The KAM area is an integral part of the instrument cluster microprocessor and cannot be serviced separately.
