Circuit/System 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.


Conditions for Running the DTC

P0601

The checksum calculation at power down in the last drive cycle was completely finished. DTC P0601 runs once an ignition cycle.

P0602

The ignition is ON, with the engine OFF. DTC P0602 runs continuously when the ignition is ON for greater than 1 second.


P0603
* The ignition is ON.
* The power down calculation in the last drive cycle was completely finished.


P0604

The read/write test at power down in the last drive cycle completely finished. DTC P0604 runs once an ignition cycle.

P0606

DTC P0606 runs continuously with ignition ON or engine operating.


P062B
* The engine is running or cranking.
* DTC P062B runs continuously when the above condition is met.



P167D
* The engine is operating.
* The ignition voltage is between 9-18 volts.
* The engine speed is less than 6,000 RPM.
* DTC P167D runs continuously once the conditions above are met.


P2610

DTC P2610 runs continuously once the engine is operating and the real time clock is active.


Conditions for Setting the DTC

P0601

The ECM detects the incorrect read only memory (ROM) checksum.

P0602

The ECM detects that programming is incomplete for greater than 4 seconds.

P0603

The ECM detects an error during the shut down path test.

P0604

The ECM detects random access memory (RAM) errors.

P0606

The ECM detects an internal error.

P062B

The ECM detects a condition with the integrated circuits of the fuel injector driver module for greater than 4 seconds or for a cumulative of 50 seconds.

P167D

The ECM detects a condition with the integrated circuits of the ignition driver module for greater than 4 seconds or for a cumulative of 50 seconds.

P2610

The ECM detects the engine off timer is not valid for greater than 4 seconds or for a cumulative of 50 seconds.


Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* DTCs P0601, P0602, P0603, P0604, and P0606 are Type A DTCs.
* DTC P062B, P167D, and P2610 are Type B DTCs.



Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* DTCs P0601, P0602, P0603, P0604, and P0606 are Type A DTCs.
* DTC P062B, P167D, and P2610 are Type B DTCs.

Circuit/System Verification

1. Ignition ON, observe the DTC information with a scan tool. DTC P0602 or P0606 should not set.

• If DTC P0602 failed this ignition, program the ECM. If the DTC resets, replace the ECM.
• If DTC P0606 failed this ignition, clear the DTCs with a scan tool and verify the DTC does not reset. If DTC resets, replace the ECM.

2. Observe the DTC information with a scan tool. DTC P0601, P0603, P0604, P062B, P167D or P2610 should not set.

• If a DTC failed this ignition, replace the ECM.

3. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC to verify the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.



Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification (Verification Tests) after completing the diagnostic procedure.
