kam reset

out of tech2.........KAM reset?   whos got the poop on this?......   

KAM - KEEP ALIVE MEMORY - This code is set when module loses battery voltage, that only should go away when battery is disconnected. Loss of battery voltage can cause concerns as can ignition voltage they both power module. KAM codes can also be set by weak battery or starter with high current draw can can battery voltage to drop low enough to set code. It like when you start your car and lose your clock and  radio presets. Presets and clock are stored in KAM

ok....probably should be in my E-Ghost thread, but saw my ser mgr. friend joe p.... he connected tech 2 to sts....all went fine untill he went into diagnostics of paticulars..... tech 2 kept loosing signal, unable to perform tasks....... he wanted me to report tech 2 is brand new..............

What was tech 2 doing ?

as far as i know the tech 2 was doing what it is suppose to do.  .....the sts was having a gremlin attack, and not talking to tech 2 at times.   ....the tech 2 wanted to reset when it didn't receive from sts.    .... i hope this makes sence to you slowroll.    ...you have been most patient with this.

What u codes were set? Did it see all the modules?

SLOWROLL..... IF I SAID TO YOU THERE WERE TIMES THE TECH 2 COULDN'T PICK ANYTHING UP....NO MODULES AT ALL.  WHAT WOULD YOU SAY?     RIM?????

At this point more questions than answers.You stated your little friends were out if force, what was happening with car. U codes should be stored. Do you have factory books or alldata ?

Missing modules power up by power input rear fuse box it powers fuses audio,audio amp,and dim.I know dim was there. Does your manual show terminal layout of three connectors to rear fuse block? If it does check for 12v on related orange and brown wires.Wiggling fuses can make power come and go.The missing modules means they where not communicating at all. It would be unusal to have 2 bad modules at same time.

when i look at modules, codes i do it with a recorder......   maybe i miss spoke on one....... but not two....S_ _ _...........i'll have to watch......... going into rear seat back tomorrow if time permits..... doing that work thing this week...... will let you know......tx K
