P0606








1UR-FSE ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM: SFI SYSTEM: P0606: ECM / PCM Processor

DTC P0606 - ECM / PCM Processor

DESCRIPTION

The ECM continuously monitors its internal processors (CPUs), A/F sensor transistors and heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) transistors. This self-check ensures that the ECM is functioning properly. These are diagnosed by internal "mirroring" of the main and sub CPUs to detect the processors error. If outputs from the processors deviate from the standards, the ECM will illuminate the MIL and set a DTC immediately.





NOTE: First check for an exhaust gas leak around the HO2S if P0606 is present. An exhaust gas leak generates noise in the HO2S output. The ECM may interpret this as an HO2S transistor malfunction and set P0606.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT: Read freeze frame data using the Techstream. Freeze frame data records the engine condition 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, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

PROCEDURE

1. CHECK FOR EXHAUST GAS LEAK
(a) Allow the engine to idle.
(b) Check for exhaust gas leak around the HO2S.
OK:
No leak from the HO2S.
NG -- REPAIR LEAK
OK -- Continue to next step.
2. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (O2 SENSOR VOLTAGE)





(a) Warm up the engine.
(b) Allow the engine to idle.
(c) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(d) Turn the Techstream ON.
(e) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Active Test / Control the Injection Volume for A/F Sensor.
(f) Check the O2S B1 S2 (O2S B2 S2) values when the Control the Injection Volume for A/F Sensor is -12.5% (Lean fuel-trim).
(g) Check the O2S B1 S2 (O2S B2 S2) values when the Control the Injection Volume for A/F Sensor is 25% (Rich fuel-trim).
Standard voltage:






NG -- REPLACE HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR
OK -- Continue to next step.
3. CHECK DTC
(a) Clear DTC DTC Check / Clear.
(b) Turn the engine switch off.
(c) Disconnect the battery negative terminal and wait for 1 minute Service Precautions.
(d) Connect the battery negative terminal Service Precautions.
(e) Start the engine.





(f) Perform the drive pattern.
(1) Warm up the engine.
(2) Accelerate the vehicle until 50 mph (80 km/h) and stop the vehicle.
(3) Drive the vehicle by 35 to 50 mph (60 to 80 km/h) for 5 minutes or more.
(g) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(h) Turn the Techstream ON.
(i) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes.
(j) Check DTC.
OK:
P0606 is not present.
NG -- REPLACE ECM
OK -- CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS
