P0604-INTERNAL CONTROL MODULE RAM

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to the Wiring Information.

Theory of Operation

When the controller is reset (ignition turned to the RUN position), the microprocessor checks the integrity of each Random Access Memory (RAM) location by writing to it and reading back from it. The read value should be same as value written.

- When Monitored:
One time after the controller is reset (ignition turned to the RUN position).

- Set Condition:
When the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) detects an internal controller problem.





Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting Procedure.

Diagnostic Test
CHECK WIRING AND CONNECTORS FOR INTERMITTENT OPERATION
1. Using the schematics as a guide, check the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) terminals for corrosion, damage or terminal push out. Pay particular attention to all power and ground circuits.
2. Wiggle the wires while checking for shorted and open circuits.
3. Check Service Bulletins that may apply.

Were any problems found?

Yes

- Repair the power and/or ground circuits to the PCM as necessary.
- Perform the TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. Verification Tests.

No

- Replace the PCM. With the scan tool, perform a Quick Learn. Powertrain Control Module - Removal.
- Perform the TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. Verification Tests.
