P2610

Soak timer (built into ECM)

An ECM internal malfunction.

ECM

Engine running

2 trip

DESCRIPTION

To ensure the accuracy of the EVAP (Evaporative Emission) monitor values, the soak timer, which is built into the ECM, measures 5 hours (+/-15 minutes) from when the engine switch is turned off, before the monitor is run. This allows the fuel to cool down, which stabilizes the EVAP pressure. When 5 hours have elapsed, the ECM turns on.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

5 hours after the engine 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 these two are not synchronized, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction, illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC (2 trip detection logic).

TYPICAL MALFUNCTION THRESHOLDS

Soak timer measurement when ECM CPU clock counts 10 minutes

Less than 7 minutes, or more than 13 minutes

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT:

  • DTC P2610 is stored if an internal ECM problem is detected. Diagnostic procedures are not required. ECM replacement is necessary.
  • Read freeze frame data using the Techstream. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, 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.

PROCEDURE

1.

REPLACE ECM

(a) Replace the ECM 3UR-FE ENGINE CONTROL: ECM: REMOVAL (2008 LX570) .

NEXT

2.

CHECK WHETHER DTC OUTPUT RECURS

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the engine switch on (IG).

(c) Turn the Techstream on.

(d) Clear DTCs 3UR-FE ENGINE CONTROL: SFI SYSTEM: DTC CHECK / CLEAR (2008 LX570) .

(e) Start the engine and wait for 10 minutes or more.

(f) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes / Pending.

(g) If no pending DTC is output, the repair has been successfully completed.
