DTC 2610 ECM/PCM INTERNAL ENGINE OFF TIMER PERFORMANCE

MONITOR DESCRIPTION


DTC Detection Condition:




Monitor Strategy:




Typical Enabling Conditions:




Typical Malfunction Thresholds:




To check the heat retention of the tank in the coolant heat storage (CHS) system, the ECM may cause the water pump of the CHS system to operate 5 hours after the power switch has been turned OFF.

A timer and a clock are contained in the ECM internal circuit, and the timer starts when the ignition switch is turned OFF (this process is called the "soak mode" ).

When the HV main system is started at the power switch, the ECM monitors its internal circuit. If the ECM detects a deviation between the clock and the timer, or an abnormal condition during a comparison between the starting history and the length of time the HV main power has been turned OFF, the ECM determines that its internal circuit has malfunction 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 condition when malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was running or stopped, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
