Diagnosis & fix steps
LOGIC: ECM Internal Failure.
ACTION: Verify clean 24V power and ground to the ECM pins. If power is perfect, replace the ECM.
Red Seal field insights
RED SEAL FIX: Check the Battery Cables first! Low voltage during cranking can "corrupt" the ECM's internal boot-up, triggering 629.
