P0606

DTC P0606 ECM / PCM Processor

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

DTC Setting Condition:




Monitor Strategy:




Typical Enabling Conditions:




Typical Malfunction Thresholds:




The ECM continuously monitors its internal processors (CPUs), A/F sensor transistors and heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) transistors. This self-check ensures that the ECM functioning properly. These are diagnosed by internal "mirroring" of the main and sub CPUs to detect the processors error. If outputs from the processors deviate from the standards, the ECM will illuminate the MIL and set a DTC immediately.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

Step 1:




Step 1(Continued)-3:




Step 3(Continued):





HINT: Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. Freeze frame data record the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data, from the time the malfunction occurred.
