Pending Codes
Pending Codes are also referred to as continuous monitor or maturing
codes. An intermittent fault causes the control module to store a code
in memory. If the fault does not occur within a certain number of
warm-up cycles (depending on vehicle), the code clears from memory.
If fault occurs a specific number of times, the code matures into a DTC
and the MIL illuminates or blinks. This function can be used with KOEO
or KOER
The Pending Codes function is used to read any pending codes which
may be currently set.
✓
Pending Codes may be set by emission related powertrain
components and systems.
✓
Pending Codes faults do not automatically indicate a faulty
component or system.
