Description

This diagnostic applies to internal microprocessor integrity conditions within the engine control module (ECM). 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.

Circuit/System Testing
  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 Engine Control Module Programming and Setup .
    ⇒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.
