P0602

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The Powertrain Control Module (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 for 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 the run position.

The PCM does not contain the correct program required in order to operate the vehicle.

ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
^ The control module illuminates the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) when the diagnostic runs and fails.
^ The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The control module stores this information in the Freeze Frame/Failure Records.

TEST DESCRIPTION

Steps 1-3:




The number below refers to the step number on the diagnostic table.
3. The new PCM must be programmed.
