## NHTSA's summary

HEV MODELS ONLY. This Service Information bulletin informs of a potentially incorrect display when a DTC is stored in either the Hybrid Power Control Module \(HPCM\) or in the OBD menu, Mode $02 while retrieving freeze\-frame data \(FFD\). If a DTC is stored in either of these ECMs, a list of 42 codes may be returned in error when using either SSM4 or a Generic Scan Tool \(GST\). DTCs stored in other ECMs continue to be displayed normally.
