This diagnostic applies to internal microprocessor integrity conditions within the engine control module (ECM). This diagnostic also addresses if the ECM is not programmed.
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTCs:
• | DTC P0601 Control Module Read Only Memory (ROM) |
• | DTC P0602 Control Module Not Programmed |
• | DTC P0604 Control Module Random Access Memory (RAM) |
• | DTC P0606 Control Module Internal Performance |
• | The ignition is ON. |
• | This DTC runs continuously. |
This DTC runs continuously.
• | The ignition is ON. |
• | This DTC runs once per ignition cycle. |
• | The ignition is ON. |
• | This DTC runs continuously. |
The ECM detects read only memory (ROM) errors for more than 1 second.
The ECM detects that programming is incomplete for more than 1 second.
The ECM detects that random access memory (RAM) errors for more than 1 second.
The ECM detects an internal condition for more than 1 second.
• | The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) when the diagnostic runs and fails. |
• | The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The control module stores this information in the Freeze Frame/Failure Records. |
• | The control module turns OFF the MIL after 3 consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail. |
• | A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes. |
• | A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other emission related diagnostic. |
• | Clear the MIL and the DTC with a scan tool. |
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
A DTC P0602 indicates the ECM is not programmed.
Attempt to program the ECM. If the ECM fails to program a second time, replace the ECM.
Step | Action | Yes | No |
---|---|---|---|
1 | Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle? | Go to Step 3 | |
2 |
Does the scan tool display DTC P0686, P0687, P0689, or P0690? | Go to Step 3 | |
3 | Is DTC P0606 set? | Go to Step 4 | Go to Step 5 |
4 | Was DTC P0606 only present after interrogating the vehicle for stored Failure Records or Freeze Frame Data with a scan tool? | Go to Step 9 | Go to Step 8 |
Is DTC P0602 set? | Go to Step 6 | Go to Step 8 | |
6 | Program the engine control module (ECM). Refer to Service Programming System (SPS) . Does DTC P0602 reset? | Go to Step 7 | Go to Step 9 |
Does DTC P0602 reset? | Go to Step 8 | Go to Step 9 | |
8 | Replace the ECM. Refer to Control Module References for replacement, setup, and programming. Did you complete the replacement? | Go to Step 9 | -- |
9 |
Does the DTC run and pass? | Go to Step 10 | Go to Step 3 |
10 | Observe the Capture Info with a scan tool. Does the scan tool display any DTCs that you have not diagnosed? | System OK |
