P0604
2ZR-FXE ENGINE CONTROL: SFI SYSTEM: P0604: Random Access Memory (RAM)
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 standards, the ECM will illuminate the MIL and stores the DTC immediately.
MONITOR STRATEGY
TYPICAL ENABLING CONDITIONS
TYPICAL MALFUNCTION THRESHOLDS
CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN
1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
2. Turn the power switch on (IG) and turn the Techstream on.
3. Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC operation) Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.
4. Turn the Techstream off.
5. Turn the power switch off.
6. Disconnect the Techstream.
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 Techstream to the DLC3.
10. Turn the power switch on (IG) and turn the Techstream on.
11. Wait 16 seconds or more.
12. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes.
13. Read the pending DTCs.
HINT
- 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: P0604.
16. Check the DTC judgment result.
HINT
- If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
- If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
17. If the judgment result is INCOMPLETE or N/A and no pending DTC is output, perform a universal trip and check for permanent DTCs Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.
HINT
- If a permanent DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
- If no permanent DTC is output, the system is normal.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
NOTICE:
After turning 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 Service Precautions
HINT
Read freeze frame data using the Techstream. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can be helpful in determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, whether the engine was warmed up or not, whether the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, as well as other data recorded at the time of a malfunction.
PROCEDURE
1. READ OUTPUT DTC (DTC P0604)
(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the power switch on (IG).
(c) Turn the Techstream on.
(d) Clear the DTCs Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.
(e) Turn the power switch off and turn the Techstream off.
(f) Disconnect the Techstream.
(g) Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal and wait for 1 minute.
(h) Connect the cable to the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal.
(i) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(j) Turn the power switch on (IG).
(k) Turn the Techstream on.
(l) Wait 16 seconds or more.
(m) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes.
(n) Read the DTCs.
