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.
Conditions for Running the DTC
P0601, P0602, P0630, P16F3
These DTCs run continuously when the ignition is ON.
P0603, P062F
These DTCs run at power up.
P0604
DTC P0604 runs continuously when the ignition is ON. First memory scan may take up to 30 s.
P0606, P062B
* The ignition is ON.
* System voltage is greater than 11 V.
* These DTCs run continuously when the above conditions are met.
P2610
DTC P2610 runs on ECM power down.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The ECM detects an internal failure or incomplete or incorrect programming.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
* DTCs P0601, P0602, P0603, P0604, P0606, P062B, 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, P062B, 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 for 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, observe the DTC information with a scan tool. Verify that DTC P0641, P0651, P0697, or P06A3 does not set.
• If a DTC is set, refer to DTC P0641, P0651, P0697, or P06A3 (ECM) Powertrain Management (ECM) for further diagnosis.
2. Observe the DTC information with a scan tool. DTC P0601, P0602, P0603, P0604, P0606, P062B, P062F, P0630, P16F3, or P2610 should not set.
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.
Circuit/System Testing
1. Ignition ON, clear the DTC information with a scan tool.
2. Observe the scan tool DTC information. Verify that DTC P0602 or P0630 does not set.
• If DTC P0602 or P0630 failed this ignition, reprogram the K20 ECM. Refer to Control Module References Control Module References. If the DTC resets, replace the K20 ECM.
3. Observe the DTC information with a scan tool. Verify that DTC P0601, P0603, P0604, P0606, P062B, P062F, P16F3, or P2610 does not set.
• If a DTC failed this ignition, replace the K20 ECM.
