Ok i found it this code is for your power supply, it is common to trip this when shutting down and should
clear (inactive) after a correct power down. another words if the key is on position and you shut the batt
switch off you will get this code. To help clear code start the engine, let it idle for 1 minute, and shut it
down properly. The ECM must see adequate primary ECM battery voltage when the keyswitch is turned
OFF before the fault code will go inactive.

Make sure the ECM unswitched battery supply is coming directly from the battery and not the starter. If
unswitched power is coming from the starter, it is possible for the battery voltage to drop low enough
during cranking to set this fault active.

This fault can also be caused by resistance in the ECM battery supply (+) or (-) circuits. Resistance in
these circuits can cause the voltage level at the ECM input to drop low enough to set Fault Code 1117
active.

CODE REASON EFFECT

Fault Code: 1117

PID:

SPN: 627

FMI: 2

LAMP: None

SRT:
Power Supply Lost With Ignition On - Data Erratic, Intermittent, or Incorrect. Supply voltage to the ECM
fell below 6.2-VDC momentarily, or the ECM was not allowed to power down correctly (retain battery
voltage for 30 seconds after key OFF).

Possible no noticeable performance effects or engine dying or hard starting. Fault code information, trip
information, and maintenance monitor data can be inaccurate
