| DTC Code | DTC Name |
|---|---|
| P0604 | Internal Control Module Random Access Memory (RAM) Error |
| P0606 | ECM / PCM Processor |
| P0607 | Control Module Performance |
| P0657 | Actuator Supply Voltage Circuit / Open |
DESCRIPTION
The ECM continuously monitors its internal memory status, internal circuits and output signals transmitted to the throttle actuator. This self-check ensures that the ECM is functioning properly. If any malfunction is detected, the ECM stores the appropriate DTC and illuminates the MIL.
The ECM memory status is diagnosed by internal "mirroring" of the main CPU and sub CPU to detect Random Access Memory (RAM) errors. The 2 CPU also perform continuous mutual monitoring. The ECM illuminates the MIL and stores a DTC if: 1) outputs from the 2 CPUs are different or deviate from the standard, 2) the signals sent to the throttle actuator deviate from the standard, 3) a malfunction is found in the throttle actuator supply voltage, or 4) any other ECM malfunction is found.
| DTC No. | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
|---|---|---|
| P0604 P0606 P0607 P0657 |
An ECM internal error (1 trip detection logic). | ECM |
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. Freeze frame data records the engine conditions 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, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
PROCEDURE
CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P0604, P0606, P0607 OR P0657)
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the tester on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / DTC.
Read the DTCs.
