ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) P0601 ECM MEMORY CHECKSUM

Condition for setting the DTC and action taken when the DTC sets

Circuit Description

The engine control module (ECM) 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 ECM is
replaced or a calibration update is required, the ECM

must be programmed using a Tech 2.

Diagnostic Aids

• Diagnostic Trouble Code P0601 indicates that the

contents of the EEPROM have changed since the
ECM was programmed. The only possible repair is
ECM reprogramming or replacement. Check service
bulletins to program the replacement ECM with the
correct software and calibration for the vehicle.

Replace the ECM.
Is the action complete?
IMPORTANT: The replacement ECM must be
programmed. Refer to section of the Service
Programming System (SPS) in this manual.
Following ECM programming, the immobilizer system
(if equipped) must be linked to the ECM. Refer to
section 11 “Immobilizer System-ECM replacement” for
the ECM/Immobilizer linking procedure.

Diagnostic Aids

• Diagnostic Trouble Code P0602 indicates when non

programmed ECM is used without service

ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS

DTC P0650 MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (MIL) CONTOROL CIRCUIT

MALFUNCTION

Condition for setting the DTC and action taken when the DTC sets

Circuit Description

The check engine lamp should always be illuminated
and steady with ignition “ON” and the engine stopped.
Ignition feed voltage is supplied directly to the check
engine lamp indicator. The Engine Control Module
(ECM) turns the check engine lamp “ON” by grounding
the check engine lamp driver circuit. The check engine
lamp should not remain “ON” with the engine running
and no DTC(s) set. A steady check engine lamp with
the engine running and no DTC(s) suggests a short to
ground in the check engine lamp driver circuit.

Diagnostic Aids

An intermittent may be caused by a poor connection,
rubbed-through wire insulation, or a wire broken inside
the insulation. Check for the following items:

• Poor connection or damaged harness - Inspect the

ECM harness and connectors for improper mating,
broken locks, improperly formed or damaged
terminals, poor terminal-to-wire connection, and
damaged harness.
