6VE1 3.5 ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS

D

DTC P0568 can be cleared using the Tech 2 “Clear
Info” function or by disconnecting the PCM battery
feed.

Diagnostic Aids

An intermittent may be caused by the following:

D

Poor connections.

D

Misrouted harness.

D

Rubbed through wire insulation.

D

Broken wire inside the insulation.

Check for the following conditions:

D

Poor connection at PCM-Inspect harness connectors
for backed out terminals, improper mating, broken
locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals, and
poor terminal to wire connection.

D

Damaged harness–Inspect the wiring harness for
damage. If the harness appears to be OK, observe the
cruise set switch display on the Tech 2 while moving
connectors and wiring harnesses related to the sensor.
A change in the display will indicate the location of
the fault.

If DTC P0568 cannot be duplicated, the information
included in the Failure Records data can be useful in
determined vehicle mileage since the DTC was last
set.

If it is determined that the DTC occurs intermittently,
performing the DTCP0568 Diagnostic Chart may
isolate the cause of the fault.

6VE1 3.5L ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0571 No Brake Switch Signal

D06R200076

Circuit Description

The brake switch has 3 functions.

D

Brake pedal operation check

D

Brake light operation (On and off)

D

Cruise control (Cancel)

The PCM receives vehicle speed and switch position
signals from the brake switch. The PCM sets brake
operating conditions in response to these signals.
If the brake switch is on, the brake system is in normal
operation (cruise control cancelled).

Conditions for Setting the DTC

D

Two brake switch signals not acknowledged after
signal changed.

D

VSS not defective.

D

Engine is running.

D

Vehicle speed above 20km/h.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

D

The PCM will not turn the malfunction indicator lamp
(MIL) “ON”.

D

The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Failure Records only. This
information will not be stored as Freeze Frame data.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

D

DTC P0571 can be cleared by using the scan tool
“Clear Info” function or by disconnecting the PCM
battery feed.

Diagnostic Aids

D

Damaged harness–Inspect the wiring harness for
damage. If the harness appears to be OK, observe the
fuel level display on the scan tool while moving
connectors and wiring harnesses related to the sensor.
A change in the display will indicate the location of the
fault.

6VE1 3.5L ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0601 PCM Memory

060RY014

Circuit Description

The powertrain control module (PCM) used in this vehicle
utilizes an electrically erasable programmable read-only
memory (EEPROM). The EEPROM contains program
information and the calibrations required for engine,
transmission, and powertrain diagnostics operation.
Unlike the PROM used in past applications, the EEPROM
is not replaceable. When the PCM is replaced or a
calibration update is required, the PCM must be
programmed using a Tech 2. Refer to

On-Vehicle Service

in

Powertrain Control Module and Sensors for the

EEPROM programming procedure.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

D

The PCM detects an internal program fault (check sum
error).

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

D

The PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp
(MIL) the first time the fault is detected.

D

The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in the
Failure Records data.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

D

The PCM will turn the MIL “OFF” on the third
consecutive trip cycle during which the diagnostic has
been run and the fault condition is no longer present.

D

A history DTC P0601 will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles have occurred without a fault.

D

DTC P0601 can be cleared by using the Tech 2 “Clear
Info” function or by disconnecting the PCM battery
feed.

Diagnostic Aids

D

DTC P0601 indicates that the contents of the
EEPROM have changed since the PCM was
programmed. The only possible repair is PCM
replacement. Remember to program the replacement
PCM with the correct software and calibration for the
vehicle.
