P068A

ECM or PCM Power Relay De-Energized Performance Too Early

Moderate severity

What it means

The main power relay drops out earlier than the calibrated post-run window allows. The ECU loses power before completing housekeeping (e.g. saving adaptions, parking the throttle), which causes adaptive learning to reset.

Is it safe to drive?
