Toyota Corolla (E120): Ecm/pcm processor

Dtc p0606 ecm/pcm processor

Monitor description

The ecm continuously monitors its internal circuits. This self–check insures that the ecm is functioning properly.

If a malfunction is detected, the ecm will set the appropriate dtc and illuminate the mil.

The two cpus, main and sub cpu inside the ecm, perform continuous mutual monitoring. If there is difference between outputs from the two cpus that deviates from standard level ranges, the ecm concludes that there is a fault and sets a dtc.

Hint

: read freeze frame data using the hand-held tester or the obd ii scan tool. Freeze frame data records the engine conditions when a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, it is useful for determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, the engine was warmed up or not, the air–fuel ratio was lean or rich, etc. At the time of the malfunction.

    Inspection procedure
    Hint: if dtc p0441 (purge flow), p0446 (vsv for ccv or vsv for pressure switching valve), p0451, p0452 or p0453  is output with dtc p0442 or p0456 , first troubleshoot dtc p0441, p0446, p0451, p0452 or p0453. If no malfunction is detected, troubleshoot dtc p0442 or p0456 next. ...

    Oxygen sensor monitor (front and rear o2s system)
    Preconditions The monitor will not run unless: mil is off  drive pattern  connect the obd ii scan tool to the dlc3 to check monitor status and preconditions.  Start the engine and allow it to idle for 2 minutes or more.  Drive the vehicle at 25 mph ...

    Circuit description
    The rear heated oxygen sensor is used to monitor oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas. For optimum catalytic converter operation, the air fuel mixture must be maintained near the ideal ”stoichiometric” ratio. The heated oxygen sensor output voltage changes suddenly in the vicinity of ...
