DTC P2610 ECM / PCM Internal Engine Off Timer Performance

DTC SUMMARY

DTC SUMMARY

DESCRIPTION

To ensure the accuracy of the EVAP (Evaporative Emission) monitor values, the soak timer, which is built into the ECM, measures 5 hours (+/- 15 minutes) from when the ignition switch is turned off, before the monitor is run. This allows the fuel to cool down, which stabilizes the Fuel Tank Pressure (FTP). When 5 hours have elapsed, the ECM turns on.

DESCRIPTION

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

5 hours after the ignition switch is turned off, the soak timer activates the ECM to begin the EVAP system monitor. While the engine is running, the ECM monitors the synchronization of the soak timer and the CPU clock. If these two are not synchronized, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction, illuminates the MIL and sets the DTC (2 trip detection logic).

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT:

  • DTC P2610 is set if an internal ECM problem is detected. Diagnostic procedures are not required.

    ECM replacement is required.

  • Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can be helpful in determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, whether the engine was warmed up or not, whether the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, as well as other data recorded at the time of a malfunction.

1 REPLACE ECM

  1. Replace the ECM

2 CHECK WHETHER DTC OUTPUT RECURS

  1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
  2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
  3. Clear the DTCs.
  4. Start the engine and wait for 10 minutes or more.
  5. Select the following menu items on the tester: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DTC INFO / PENDING CODES.
  6. If no pending DTC is displayed, the repair has been successfully completed.

OK: No DTC output
