P0605






P0605-INTERNAL CONTROL MODULE ROM



Theory of Operation

After the controller is reset (ignition on from an off position), the microprocessor checks the integrity of the program memory (ROM). A checksum is calculated by adding all used bytes in the program memory. The sum should be the same as a known constant stored in memory. If the integrity of the program memory fails, the MIL will illuminate after 10 seconds of vehicle operation and transmission will be placed in limp-in.

- When Monitored:
One time after each time the ignition is turned to the run position from an off position.

- Set Condition:
If the integrity of the program memory (ROM) checksum does not match a known constant.
