ING A COMPONENT INSPECTION/REPAIR/REPLACEMENT. FAILURE TO
FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.
NOTE: The DCHA Control will store up to three DTCs in its memory.
NOTE: If the DCHA Control detects a new fault in the DCHA system, one
that is not already stored in its memory, the DCHA Control will clear the
oldest of the three stored DTCs, and it will store the new fault's DTC.
NOTE: If the DCHA control detects a reoccurrence of a stored fault, the
DCHA control will overwrite that fault's DTC with the most recent occur-
rence.
