DTC P2610: Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Ignition Off Internal Timer Malfunction (Except USA and Canada 15 models) (2013-17)
General Description
The powertrain control module (PCM) has a built-in ignition off timer that measures the duration from ignition off to the next ignition on. The measured duration is used for evaporative emission (EVAP) leak detection and temperature assumption of the catalytic converter. The CPU in the PCM accesses the ignition off timer when reading the measured duration. If the access process to the ignition off timer fails, or an abnormality is found in the read data, the PCM detects a malfunction and stores a DTC.

Malfunction Threshold
The access process to the ignition off timer fails, or an abnormality is found in the read data for at least 10 seconds.
Possible Cause
- PCM internal circuit failure
Diagnosis Details* 1
Conditions for setting the DTC
When a malfunction is detected, the MIL comes on and a Pending DTC, a Confirmed DTC, and the freeze data are stored in the PCM memory.
Conditions for clearing the DTC
The MIL is cleared if the malfunction does not return in three consecutive trips in which the diagnostic runs. The MIL, the Pending DTC, the Confirmed DTC, and the freeze data can be cleared with the scan tool Clear command or by disconnecting the battery.
Diagnosis Details* 2
Conditions for setting the DTC
When a malfunction is detected during the first drive cycle, a Pending DTC is stored in the PCM memory. If the malfunction returns in the next (second) drive cycle, the MIL comes on and a Confirmed DTC and the freeze data are stored.
Conditions for clearing the DTC
The MIL is cleared if the malfunction does not return in three consecutive trips in which the diagnostic runs. The MIL, the Pending DTC, the Confirmed DTC, and the freeze data can be cleared with the scan tool Clear command or by disconnecting the battery.
