Action Taken When the DTC Set
^ Stores a DTC B1982 in the MSM memory.
^ The MSM will not respond to any manual or memory inputs when the voltage is greater than 16 volts.
^ No driver warning message will be displayed for this DTC.
^ The MSM switch failure and position sensor failure DTCs will not set while DTC B1982 is current.

CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE DTC
^ The battery positive voltage (B+) level falls below 15 volts for approximately 1.2 seconds.
^ Use the On-Boards clearing DTCs feature.
^ Use a scan tool.
