SFI SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:P0606

DTC Code DTC Name
P0606 ECM / PCM Processor

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The ECM continuously monitors its main and sub CPUs. This self-check ensures that the ECM is functioning properly. If outputs from the CPUs are different and deviate from the standards, the ECM will illuminate the MIL and stores the DTC immediately.

DTC No. DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
P0606

Either condition is met (1 trip detection logic):


  • There is an ECM main CPU error.

  • There is an ECM sub CPU error.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN


  1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

  2. Turn the power switch on (IG) and turn the tester on.

  3. Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).

  4. Turn the tester off.

  5. Turn the power switch off.

  6. Disconnect the tester.

  7. Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal and wait for 1 minute.

  8. Connect the cable to the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal.

  9. Connect the tester to the DLC3.

  10. Turn the power switch on (IG) and turn the tester on.

  11. Wait 16 second or more.

  12. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / DTC.

  13. Read the pending DTCs.

    Tech Tips


    • If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.

    • If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.

  14. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Utility / All Readiness.

  15. Input the DTC: P0606.

  16. Check the DTC judgment result.

    Tester Display Description
    NORMAL

    • DTC judgment completed

    • System normal
    ABNORMAL

    • DTC judgment completed

    • System abnormal
    INCOMPLETE

    • DTC judgment not completed

    • Perform driving pattern after confirming DTC enabling conditions
    N/A

    • Unable to perform DTC judgment

    • Number of DTCs which do not fulfill DTC preconditions has reached ECU memory limit

    Tech Tips


    • If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.

    • If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.

    • If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE or N/A, perform the Confirmation Driving Pattern and check the DTC judgment result again.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

Note

After turning the power switch off, waiting time may be required before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal. Therefore, make sure to read the disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal notices before proceeding with work Click here.

Tech Tips

Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. 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.
