DTC P0685: Engine Control Module (ECM)/Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Power Control Circuit/Internal Circuit Malfunction: General Description

After the ignition switch is turned off, the engine control module (ECM)/powertrain control module (PCM) does not shut down immediately. After finishing a predetermined process according to the request of each device and system, the power supply is automatically disconnected (self shut-down function). The ECM/PCM power is disconnected by controlling PGM-FI main relay 1 (FI MAIN).

During a normal ECM/PCM shut down, the shut down process is executed by the CPU, PGM-FI main relay 1 (FI MAIN) is turned off, and the voltage to the ECM/PCM is turned off to shut down the ECM/PCM. When the voltage to the ECM/PCM is turned off and the ECM/PCM shuts down without the normal shut down procedure, a malfunction in the PGM-FI main relay 1 (FI MAIN) control circuit is detected and a DTC is stored.
