    • DTC P0601 runs continuously when the above condition is met.

P0602

    • The ignition switch is in the ON position.
    • DTC P0602 runs continuously when the above condition is met.

P0603

    • The ignition switch is in the ON position.
    • DTC P0603 runs continuously when the above condition is met.

P0604

    • The ignition switch is in the Run or the Crank position.
    • DTC P0604 runs continuously when the above condition is met.

P0606

    • The ignition switch is in the Unlock, Accessory, Run, or Crank position.
    • The system voltage is more than 5.23 volts.
    • DTC P0606 runs continuously when the above conditions are met.

P0607

    • The ignition switch is in the ON position.
    • DTC P0607 runs continuously when the above condition is met.

P060E

    • DTCs P0601, P0602, P0603, P0604, P0606, P0607, P1621, P2610 are not set.
    • The system voltage is more than 5.23 volts.
    • The ignition switch is in the Unlock, Accessory, or Run position.
    • The above conditions are met for more than one second.
    • DTC P060E runs continuously when the above conditions are met.

P1621

    • The ignition switch is in the ON position.
    • DTC P1621 runs continuously when the above conditions are met.

P2610

    • The ignition switch is in the ON position.
    • The intake air temperature (IAT) is between -7 and +75°C (+20 and +167°F).
    • The above conditions are met for more than 14 seconds.
    • The ECM is powered down.
    • DTC P2610 runs continuously when the above conditions are met.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The ECM detects an internal failure or incomplete programming for more than 14 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

P0601, P0602, P0603, P0604, P0606, P060E and P1621

    • 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.

P2610

    • The control module illuminates the MIL on the second consecutive ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
    • The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time the diagnostic fails, the control module stores this information in the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the control module records the operating conditions at the time of the failure. The control module writes the operating conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the Failure Records.

P0607

    • The control module stores the DTC information into memory when the diagnostic runs and fails.
    • The MIL will not illuminate.
    • The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The control module stores this information in the Failure Records.
    • The driver information center (DIC), if equipped, may display a message.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTCs

P0601, P0602, P0603, P0604, P0606, P060E, P1621, and P2610

    • 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.

P0607

    • 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 non-emission related diagnostic.
    • Clear the DTC with a scan tool.
