Lexus ES: ECM/PCM Engine Off Timer Performance Signal Invalid (P261029,P261093)
DTC SUMMARY
| DTC No. | Detection Item | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area | MIL | Memory | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P261029 | ECM/PCM Engine Off Timer Performance Signal Invalid | ECM internal malfunction | ECM | Comes on | DTC stored | SAE Code: P2610 |
| P261093 | ECM/PCM Engine Off Timer Performance No Operation | ECM internal malfunction | ECM | Comes on | DTC stored | SAE Code: P2610 |
| DTC No. | Monitoring Item | Detection Timing | Detection Logic |
|---|---|---|---|
| P261029 | Soak timer (built into ECM) | EVAP monitoring (engine switch off) | 2 trip |
| P261093 | Soak timer (built into ECM) | Engine switch on (IG) | 2 trip |
DESCRIPTION
The soak timer operates after the engine switch is turned off. When a certain amount of time has elapsed after turning the engine 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.
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
If the soak timer activates the ECM even though only a short amount of time has elapsed since the engine 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 engine switch was turned off, the ECM determines that the soak timer is malfunctioning, illuminates the MIL and stores a DTC the next time the engine switch is turned on (IG).

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN
HINT:
-
After repair has been completed, clear the DTC and then check that the vehicle has returned to normal by performing the following All Readiness check procedure.

-
When clearing the permanent DTCs, refer to the "CLEAR PERMANENT DTC" procedure.
Click here
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the engine switch on (IG).
- Turn the Techstream on.
- Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
- Turn the engine switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
- Start the engine and warm it up until the engine coolant temperature reaches 75°C (167°F) or higher [A].
- Turn the engine switch off and wait for at least 15 seconds [B].
- Start the engine [C].
- Stop the engine and leave the vehicle for 60 minutes or more [D].
- Turn the engine switch on (IG).
- Turn the Techstream on.
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes [E].
-
Read the pending DTCs.
HINT:
- If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
- If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.
- Input the DTC: P261029 or P261093.
-
Check the DTC judgment result.
Techstream Display
Description
NORMAL
- DTC judgment completed
- System normal
ABNORMAL
- DTC judgment completed
- System abnormal
INCOMPLETE
- DTC judgment not completed
- Perform driving pattern after confirming DTC enabling conditions
HINT:
- If the judgment result is NORMAL, the system is normal.
- If the judgment result is ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
-
[A] to [E]: Normal judgment procedure.
The normal judgment procedure is used to complete DTC judgment and also used when clearing permanent DTCs.
- When clearing the permanent DTCs, do not disconnect the cable from the battery terminal or attempt to clear the DTCs during this procedure, as doing so will clear the universal trip and normal judgment histories.
CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
HINT:
- DTC P261029 or P261093 is set if an internal ECM problem is detected. Diagnostic procedures are not required. ECM replacement is required.
- Read freeze frame data using the Techstream. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. 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.
