P0602
Diagnostic Chart:
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
This DTC indicates that the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) internal Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM) is not flashed with any vehicle software. If you install a service PCM and do not flash the EEPROM, the engine will not run. This DTC indicates that an unflashed PCM causes the engine cranks but will not run situation.
CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING THE DTC
The ignition switch is in the RUN position.
CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
No software data is present in the PCM.
ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
^ The PCM illuminates the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) when the diagnostic runs and fails.
^ The PCM records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The PCM stores this information in the Freeze Frame and/or Failure Records.
CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE MIL/DTC
^ The PCM turns OFF the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
^ A last test failed, or current DTC, clears when the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
^ A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other emission related diagnostic.
^ Use a scan tool in order to clear the MIL and the DTC.
DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
IMPORTANT: Remove any debris from the PCM connector surfaces before servicing the PCM. Inspect the PCM connector gaskets when diagnosing or replacing the PCM. Ensure that the gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets prevent water intrusion into the PCM.
For an intermittent, refer to Symptoms. Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures
TEST DESCRIPTION
The number below refers to the step number on the diagnostic table.
3. If the flashing routine fails, verify that the equipment used is functioning properly and that all cable connections are clean and tight. Also, make sure that the software you download is correct for the PCM being flashed. If everything is OK, and a second attempt fails, the PCM is faulty.
