The powertrain control module (PCM) uses output driver modules (ODMs) to control many functions of the engine, and the transaxle. The ODMs supply the ground path for the PCM controlled device when the PCM commands the device ON. Each ODM is able to control several outputs. Unlike the quad driver modules (QDMs) used in earlier model years, the ODMs are able to diagnose each output circuit. The PCM monitors the ODMs for circuit conditions that are incorrect for the commanded state of the ODM. If the PCM detects an improper circuit condition in the ODM that controls suspension Lift/Dive, DTC P1652 will set.
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC P1652 Powertrain Induced Chassis Pitch Output Circuit
• | The engine is running. |
• | The system voltage is between 8-16 volts. |
• | The PCM detects a circuit condition that is incorrect for the commanded state of the ODM that controls suspension Lift/Dive. |
• | The condition is present for at least 10 seconds. |
• | The PCM will not illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). |
• | The PCM will store the conditions present when the DTC set as Failure Records only. |
• | The history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles have occurred without a malfunction. |
• | The DTC can be cleared by using the scan tool Clear DTC Information function. |
If the condition is intermittent, refer to Intermittent Conditions in Engine Controls - 4.6L.
