Keep Alive Memory

Keep Alive Memory (KAM) (a memory integrated circuit chip) stores information about vehicle operating conditions in the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), and then uses this information to compensate for component variability. KAM remains powered when the vehicle ignition key is Off so that this information is not lost.
