The ignition is ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC
The DTC is set when the battery voltage is outside the normal range of 9 - 15.5 volts.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
Disable All Functionality

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
^ The scan tool can be used to clear the DTC.
^ The DTC is saved as history when the ESC module no longer sees battery voltage outside the normal range of 9 - 15.5 volts. The DTC will clear if the fault does not return after 50 consecutive ignition cycles.
