Pinpoint Test QE: Electronic Throttle Control (Etc) System
Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
Refer to the DTC Fault Trigger Conditions.
The informational Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are the result of the failure mode effects management operating strategy that maintains limited vehicle function in the event of a PCM, harness or component concern.
Circuit Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) can be accompanied by the informational Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and should be diagnosed first. Informational Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) without circuit Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) may or may not indicate the actual concern and should be diagnosed as a symptom.
DTC Fault Trigger Conditions
| DTC | Description | Fault Trigger Condition |
|---|---|---|
| PCM P0600:00 | Serial Communication Link: No Sub Type Information | Sets when the PCM detects an internal PCM communication error. |
| PCM P060A:00 | Internal Control Module Monitoring Processor Performance: No Sub Type Information | Sets when the PCM detects an internal error. Verify the PCM is at the latest calibration level. |
| PCM P060B:00 | Internal Control Module A/D Processing Performance: No Sub Type Information | Sets when the PCM detects an internal error. |
| PCM P060C:00 | Internal Control Module Main Processor Performance: No Sub Type Information | Sets when the PCM detects an internal error. |
| PCM P061A:00 | Internal Control Module Torque Performance: No Sub Type Information | Sets when the PCM detects an internal calculation error. The presence of this DTC may indicate that the vehicle is operating in failure mode and may experience a loss of power. Check for sensor and circuit related Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). Do not install a new electronic throttle body for this DTC. |
| PCM P061B:00 | Internal Control Module Torque Calculation Performance: No Sub Type Information | Sets when the PCM detects an internal calculation error. The presence of this DTC may indicate that the vehicle is operating in failure mode and may experience a loss of power. Check for sensor and circuit related Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). Do not install a new electronic throttle body for this DTC. |
| PCM P061C:00 | Internal Control Module Engine RPM Performance: No Sub Type Information | Sets when the PCM detects an internal error. Verify correct operation of the CKP and CMP sensors and related circuits. The presence of this DTC may indicate that the vehicle is operating in failure mode and may experience a loss of power. |
| PCM P061D:00 | Internal Control Module Engine Air Mass Performance: No Sub Type Information | Sets when the PCM detects internal an error. An intake air system leak at a hose, line or connection of any intake air system component may cause this DTC to set. Aftermarket modifications to the intake air system may cause this DTC to set. Verify the PCM is at the latest calibration level. |
| PCM P061F:00 | Internal Control Module Throttle Actuator Controller Performance: No Sub Type Information | Sets when the PCM detects an internal error. Verify correct operation of the electronic throttle control (ETC) components and related circuits. |
| PCM P062B:00 | Internal Control Module Fuel Injector Control Performance: No Sub Type Information | Sets when the PCM detects an internal error. The presence of this DTC may indicate that the vehicle is operating in failure mode and may experience a loss of power. |
| PCM P062C:00 | Internal Control Module Vehicle Speed Performance: No Sub Type Information | Sets when the PCM does not receive a valid vehicle speed or wheel speed signal. Diagnose all vehicle communication concerns, ABS Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), ABS related Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) in other modules, TCM Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), or TCM related Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) in other modules, before diagnosing this DTC. |
| PCM P0C2F:00 | Internal Control Module Drive Motor/Generator-Engine Speed Sensor Performance: No Sub Type Information | Sets when the PCM detects an error. |
| PCM P162D:00 | Internal Control Module Cruise Control Performance: No Sub Type Information | Sets when the PCM detects a calculation error in the PCM. Check for sensor and circuit related Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). Do not install a new electronic throttle body for this DTC. |
| PCM P1674:00 | Control Module Software Corrupted: No Sub Type Information | Sets when the PCM detects an internal error. Verify the PCM is at the latest calibration level. |
| PCM U0300:00 | Internal Control Module Software Incompatibility: No Sub Type Information | Sets when the PCM detects incompatible software levels within the PCM that control the ETC system. The electronic throttle control system uses multiple microprocessors within the PCM, each having its own software level and function. The microprocessors must have the correct level of software in order to communicate and function together. Verify the PCM is at the latest calibration level. |
