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.

Inspection procedure
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.
Replace ecm
Other materials:
Have the malfunction repaired immediately. (vehicles with a smart key system)
After taking the specified steps to correct the suspected problem, check that
the warning message and light go off.

Monitor description
While the engine is being cranked, the battery positive voltage is applied to
terminal sta of the ecm.
If the ecm detects the starter control signal (sta) while the vehicle is
driving, it will conclude that there is
a fault in the starter control circuit. The ecm will turn on the mil and a d ...
Circuit description
When driving uphill under cruise control, in order to reduce the number of
shifting due to on–off overdrive
operation and to provide smooth driving, when down shifting in the
electronically controlled transmission occurs,
a signal to prevent upshift until the end of the uphill slope is sent ...
