DTC P2610
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
This diagnostic applies to internal microprocessor integrity conditions within the engine control module (ECM). This diagnostic also addresses if the ECM is not programmed.

- DTC P0601 Control Module Read Only Memory (ROM)
- DTC P0602 Control Module Not Programmed

CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING THE DTC

- The non-volatile memory has not reset.
- DTC P2610 runs once an ignition cycle.
CONDITIONS FOR SETTING DTC
The ECM detects a low power counter error for more than 3 seconds.
ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
- The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) when the diagnostic runs and fails.
- The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The control module stores this information in the Freeze Frame/Failure Records.
CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE MIL/DTC
- The control module turns OFF the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) after 4 consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
- A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes.
- A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other emission related diagnostic.
- Clear the MIL and the DTC with a scan tool.
TEST DESCRIPTION
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
2. A DTC P0602 indicates the ECM is not programmed.
