Acura RL. Manual - part 34

Conditions for clearing the DTC 

The DTC and the freeze frame data can be cleared by using the scan tool Clear command or by 
disconnecting the battery. 

DTC P0602 (196): ADVANCED DIAGNOSTICS 

DTC P0602: POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) PROGRAMMING ERROR 

Fig. 96: Powertrain Control Module Program 

General Description 

The powertrain control module (PCM) is equipped with an update program to update its control program. 
The programs in the CPU of the PCM are classified as a PCM program (update-capable program) and a 
program for the update function (nonupdateable program). The program update only updates the powertrain 
control program. 

When the PCM power is turned off during an update, the power for the update function is lost, and the 
update process stops. When the program update is stopped before it is completed, the PCM stores a DTC 
that indicates the update is not finished.

Malfunction Threshold 

The powertrain control program update is stopped before it is finished, and this condition continues for at 
least 1 second. 

Diagnosis Details 

Conditions for illuminating the MIL 

When a malfunction is detected, the MIL comes on and the DTC and the freeze frame data are stored in the 
PCM memory. 

Conditions for clearing the MIL 

The MIL will be cleared if the malfunction does not recur during three consecutive trips in which the 
diagnostic runs. 

The MIL, the DTC, and the freeze frame data can be cleared by using the scan tool Clear command or by 
disconnecting the battery. 

DTC P0603 (131): ADVANCED DIAGNOSTICS 

DTC P0603: POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) INTERNAL CONTROL MODULE 
KEEP ALIVE MEMORY (KAM) ERROR 

Fig. 97: Powertrain Control Module - Communication Diagram 

General Description 

The powertrain control module (PCM) is equipped with a keep-alive memory. The data (control learn data 
etc) for powertrain control and information (vehicle identification number (VIN), etc) related to vehicle 
control is stored in the keep alive memory, so that it can be maintained even when power is not supplied to 
the PCM such as when the battery is disconnected. When power is restored to the PCM, the CPU retrieves 
the stored information from the keep-alive memory, but when the data retrieval process is not finished 
normally, a malfunction is detected and a DTC is stored. 

The CPU writes data to the keep-alive memory from the CPU: Control related data is written when the 
ignition is turned on, and vehicle information when commanded from the HDS.

Fig. 98: Fuel Pump Control Module System - Circuit Diagram 

General Description 

The fuel pump control module system monitors the voltage applied to the fuel pump in response to the duty 
signal from the powertrain control module (PCM). When the voltage applied to the fuel pump is normal, the 
fuel pump control module system outputs a high diagnosis signal, and when the voltage applied is abnormal, 
it outputs a low signal. The PCM monitors this diagnosis signal whenever the engine is running. 

When the diagnosis signal from the fuel pump control module system is low for a set time or more, the PCM 
detects a malfunction and a DTC is stored.
