DTC P0606 ECM/PCM Processor: Description

The ECM continuously monitors its internal processors (CPUs) heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) transistors. This self-check ensures that the ECM is functioning properly. These are diagnosed by internal "mirroring" of the main and sub CPUs to detect the processors error. If outputs from the processors deviate from the standard, the ECM will illuminate the MIL and set a DTC immediately.

DTC DETECTION CONDITION AND TROUBLE AREA

DTC No. DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
P0606
  • ECM CPUs malfunction
  • HO2S transistors malfunction
  • Exhaust gas leak
  • HO2S
  • ECM
NOTE: An exhaust gas leak generates noise in the HO2S output. The ECM may interpret this as an HO2S transistor malfunction and set P0606.
