DTC B1001 is set when the MICU runs its internal self-test and detects an internal hardware or memory fault that prevents it from operating reliably. Triggers include corrupt EEPROM/flash data after a low-voltage event or interrupted reflash, internal microprocessor failure, or marginal power/ground at the unit causing brown-out rese...
