DTC Descriptor
DTC P162B
- Remote Vehicle Speed Limiting Signal Message Counter Incorrect
Circuit/System Description
When a remote slow-down request is sent from OnStar, the vehicle communication interface module sends a serial data message to the engine
control module (ECM) indicating that reduced vehicle speed has been requested. Once the request is active, the ECM begins reducing engine torque
to match requested vehicle speed and the REDUCED ENGINE POWER message is displayed.
Conditions for Running the DTC
* The engine run time is greater than 5 seconds.
* A remote slow-down request is sent from OnStar
Conditions for Setting the DTC
* The VIN embedded in the slow-down request does not match the VIN stored in the ECM.
* The rolling code counter embedded in the slow-down request does not increment for ten consecutive messages.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
* ECM ignores all reduced vehicle speed request messages from the vehicle communication interface module.
* The ECM stores DTC P162B in history.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
* The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists.
* A history DTC will clear after 40 malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred.
