DTC P2610: Electronic Control Module (ECM)/Powertrain Control Module (Pcm) Internal Engine Off Timer Performance

P2610 - ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE (ECM)/POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) INTERNAL ENGINE OFF TIMER PERFORMANCE

Description:  Indicates an error in the internal PCM engine off timer processor. The test fails when the difference between the engine off time and the central processing unit (CPU) time exceeds a calibrated limit for a calibrated amount of time.
Possible Causes: 
  • Incorrect or intermittent battery cable connections
  • Keep alive power (KAPWR) circuit to PCM concern
  • Engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor
  • Engine cooling system concerns
  • Electrical interference around vehicle or PCM
Diagnostic Aids:  Verify the PCM, remote function actuator (RFA) and instrument cluster (IC) are at the latest calibration level.
