DESCRIPTION
The soak timer operates after the ignition switch is turned off. When a certain amount of time has elapsed after turning the ignition switch off, the soak timer activates the ECM to perform malfunction checks which can only be performed after the engine is stopped. The soak timer is built into the ECM.
| DTC No. | Detection Item | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area | MIL | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P261029 | ECM/PCM Engine Off Timer Performance Signal Invalid | ECM internal malfunction (2 trip detection logic) | ECM | Comes on | SAE: P2610 |
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
If the soak timer activates the ECM even though only a short amount of time has elapsed since the ignition switch was turned off, or if the soak timer does not activate the ECM even though a considerable amount of time has elapsed since the ignition switch was turned off, the ECM determines that the soak timer is malfunctioning, illuminates the MIL and stores a DTC the next time the ignition switch is turned to ON.
