DTC P2610 ECM / PCM Internal Engine Off Timer Performance
DTC SUMMARY
| DTC No. | Monitoring Item | Malfunction Detection Condition | Trouble Area | Detection Timing | Detection Logic |
| P2610 | Soak timer (built into ECM) | ECM internal malfunction | ECM | Engine running | 2 trip |
DESCRIPTION
The soak timer is built into the ECM. To ensure that the Evaporative Emission (EVAP) monitor values will be accurate, the soak timer counts 5 hours (+-15 minutes) from when the ignition switch is turned OFF. This allows the fuel to cool down, which stabilizes the Fuel Tank Pressure (FTP). When approximately 5 hours have passed, the ECM turns ON.
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 the soak timer and CPU clock are not synchronized, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction, illuminates the MIL and sets the DTC (2 trip detection logic).MONITOR STRATEGY

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.

2.CHECK WHETHER DTC OUTPUT RECURS
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3 with CAN VIM.
Turn the ignition switch ON and turn the intelligent tester ON.
Clear DTCs (Click here).
Start the engine and wait for 10 minutes or more.
Enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DTC / INFO / PENDING CODES.
If no pending DTC is displayed, the repair has been successfully completed.
