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 or is programmed incorrectly.
The ECM monitors its ability to read and write to the memory. It also monitors a timing function.
Conditions for Running the DTC
P0601, P0602, P0610, P0630, P16F3
* The ignition is ON.
* These DTCs run continuously when the above condition is met.
P0603, P062F
* The ignition is ON.
* These DTCs run once per ignition cycle.
P0604
* The ignition is ON for greater than 30 s.
* DTC P0604 runs continuously when the above condition is met.
P0606
* The system voltage is greater than 11 V.
* DTC P0606 runs continuously when the above condition is met.
P2610
* The ignition is OFF.
* The ECM is not 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 10 s.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
* DTCs P0601, P0602, P0603, P0604, P0606, P0610, P062F, P0630, and P16F3 are Type A DTCs.
* DTC P2610 is a Type B DTC.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
* DTCs P0601, P0602, P0603, P0604, P0606, P0610, P062F, P0630, and P16F3 are Type A DTCs.
* DTC P2610 is a Type B DTC.
Diagnostic Aids
Low voltage or a momentary loss of power or ground to the ECM may cause a DTC to set. Verify the following:
* The battery cables are clean and tight, and the battery is fully charged. Refer to Battery Inspection/Test Battery Inspection/Test
* The ECM ground circuits do not have an open or high resistance.
* The ECM power circuits do not have an open, short to ground, or high resistance.

Circuit/System Verification
1. Ignition ON, clear the DTC information with a scan tool. Observe the DTC information with the scan tool.
2. Verify that DTC P0641, P0651, P0697, or P06A3 is not set.
• If DTC P0641, P0651, P0697, or P06A3 is set, refer to DTC P0641, P0651, P0697, or P06A3 (ECM) Powertrain Management (ECM).
3. Verify that DTC P0602, P0610, or P0630 is not set.
• If DTC P0602, P0610, or P0630 is set, program the K20 ECM. Refer to Control Module References Control Module References. If DTC P0602, P0610, or P0630 resets, replace the K20 ECM.
4. Verify that DTC P0601, P0603, P0604, P0606, P062F, P16F3, or P2610 is not set.
• If a DTC set this ignition, replace the K20 ECM.
