ECM/PCM monitors errors through checksum. Every information consists of the combination of 0 and 1, checksum means summing up all values in a row. Thus, errors are recognized comparing checksum value and the memory value at ECM/PCM.
Checking ECM/PCM under detecting condition, if internal error is detected, ECM/PCM sets P0606. And MIL(Malfunction Indication Lamp) turns on.
