B222A-VEHICLE LINE MISMATCH

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article .

When powered, the Electronic Pedestrian Protection Module (EPPM) performs an internal self test. The repair of this fault centers on verifying the EPPM and Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) configuration. Configuration covering the model year, vehicle line, country code, body style, and LHD/RHD, and checking for differences between what is programmed in the EPPM and what is actually on the vehicle.

The EPPM checks its feature configuration for a stored Vehicle Line and Country Code continuously 12 seconds after initialization. The monitoring rate is done at startup during the first 16 seconds of the key cycle.

This DTC sets when the ORC detects a mismatch between the Vehicle Configuration and the EPPM configuration with in the early initialization. Once the code sets in this ignition cycle it stays active for this ignition cycle.
