DTC Descriptor



DTC B1016 00



- Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) Information Not Programmed



Circuit/System Description



After a loss of battery power has been restored, the theft deterrent module (TDM) will perform a check on the stored vehicle identification number



(VIN). If the VIN is CORRECT, the TDM will run the VIN Timer for a programmable length of time, typically 10 minutes. The TDM will send a



message via the serial data circuit to the instrument panel cluster (IPC) to illuminate the SECURITY indicator. After the VIN Timer has timed out,



the security indicator will turn OFF. If the VIN is INCORRECT, the TDM will send the fuel disable password to the engine control module (ECM),



via the serial data circuit. The immobilizer system considers this to be a tamper and will not allow the vehicle to start. The TDM will send a



message via the serial data circuit to the IPC to flash the SECURITY indicator.



Conditions for Running the DTC



Ignition ON



Conditions for Setting the DTC



* The VIN check flag of the TDM is true.



* The TDM has determined that the battery has been reconnected after a battery disconnect.



Action Taken When the DTC Sets



* The vehicle will not start.



* The TDM sends the fuel disable message via the serial data circuit to the ECM.



* The TDM sends a message to the IPC to illuminate the SECURITY indicator.



Conditions for Clearing the DTC



The TDM clears the current DTC when the correct VIN information is present.
