DTC Descriptor
DTC B3031 Security System Controller In Learn Mode
Circuit/System Description
When learning a coded key, the theft deterrent module (TDM) is placed in learn mode. DTC B3031 will set automatically as an indicator that the system is in learn mode and not as a fault indicator. Once the coded key is learned, learn mode will be exited and the DTC cleared. If the TDM does not exit learn mode, B3031 will remain current and indicate a fault.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The immobilizer system is the learn coded keys state.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
DTC B3031 will set any time the TDM enters the learn coded keys state.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The security indicator will illuminate.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
^ A current DTC B3031 will be cleared upon the successful exit of learn mode.
^ A history DTC will be cleared after 100 malfunction-free ignition cycles or when a scan tool is used to clear DTCs.
