Circuit/System Description

This diagnostic applies to internal microprocessor integrity conditions within the engine control module (ECM) and the throttle actuator control (TAC) system. This diagnostic also addresses if the ECM is not programmed.

The ECM monitors its ability to read and write to the memory. It also monitors a timing function. The ECM and the TAC processors are used to monitor the TAC system data. Both processors monitor the other processors data to verify that the indicated APP calculation is correct. The ECM performs an intrusive test in order to confirm that the APP signals are not shorted together. The ECM accomplishes this by pulling the APP sensor 2 low momentarily and looking for sensor 1 to also be pulled low.

Circuit/System Testing for the DTC
  1. Observe the DTCs with the scan tool.
    2. ⇒If DTC P0602 is set, attempt to program the ECM before replacing the ECM. Refer to Control Module References for ECM replacement, setup, and programming.
    ⇒If DTC P0602 resets, replace the ECM.
  2. Test the voltage and ground inputs to the ECM for the following:
    3. • A short
    • An open
    • High resistance
    ⇒If all circuits test normal, replace the ECM.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
