P0602

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The PCM used in this vehicle utilizes an Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM). The EEPROM contains program information and the calibrations required for powertrain diagnostics operation.

Unlike the PROM used in past applications, the EEPROM is not replaceable. When the PCM is replaced or a calibration update is required, the PCM must be programmed using approved Techline equipment.

CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
The ignition is in the crank or run position.

CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
The PCM does not contain the correct program required to operate the vehicle.

ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
^ The PCM will illuminate the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) during the first trip in which the diagnostic test has been run and failed.
^ The PCM will store conditions which were present when the DTC set as Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.
