Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Serial Data Messages
If no power mode message can be received, the modules remain in the last power mode received and check for the ERF message. If the ERF serial data is true, indicating that the engine is running, the modules fail-safe to Run power mode. In this state the modules and their subsystems can support all operator requirements. If the engine run flag serial data is false, indicating that the engine is not running, the modules fail-safe to Off-Awake power mode and shut down after a while if no other conditions require them to be awake.
