SFI SYSTEM(w/ Canister Pump Module), Diagnostic DTC:P0604

DTC Code DTC Name
P0604 Random Access Memory (RAM)

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The ECM continuously monitors its internal memory status. This self-check ensures that the ECM is functioning properly. It is diagnosed by internal "mirroring" of the main CPU and sub CPU to detect Random Access Memory (RAM) errors. If outputs from these CPUs are different and deviate from the standard, the ECM illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC immediately.

DTC No.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

  1. Turn the ignition switch off.

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

  3. Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal.

  4. Turn the ignition switch to ON and wait for 16 seconds or more.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Tip:

Read freeze frame data using the GTS. 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.

PROCEDURE
