PINPOINT TEST T: P1A0C Refer to Cell 25 of the Electrical Schematics for circuit and connector information. Normal Operation and Fault SymptomsInformational diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) are the result of a limited operating strategy (LOS) or failure mode effects management (FMEM) operating strategy, which maintains limited vehicle function in the event of a concern with the PCM, TCM, BECM or a component. Circuit diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) may be accompanied by informational diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and must be diagnosed first. An informational DTC without a circuit DTC may or may not indicate an actual concern and must be diagnosed as a symptom. DTC Fault Trigger Conditions
