Presence of these codes may prevent the vehicle from passing a smog test. Refer to your eResponsibility report or do an iN VIN status inquiry to determine which units in your inventory are affected. Failure to repair a vehicle as necessary prior to sale may subject your dealership to claims or lawsuits. BACKGROUND Due to inappropriate calibration of the powertrain control module (PCM), the on-board diagnostic (OBD) system cannot properly clear certain Permanent Fault Code DTCs as required. If these permanent DTCs cannot be cleared, it may lead to a failed inspection and maintenance test/smog test. REPAIR Update the PCM software. SOFTWARE The software will be available to dealers on September 15, 2020. PARTS There are no parts needed for this campaign. TOOLS There are no special tools needed for this campaign.
