DTC P0650 with LLT

The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) is located on the instrument panel cluster (IPC). The MIL informs the driver that an emission system fault has occurred and that the engine control system requires service. The engine control module (ECM) monitors the MIL control circuit for conditions that are incorrect for the commanded state of the MIL. For example, a failure condition exists if the ECM detects low voltage when the MIL is commanded OFF, or high voltage when the MIL is commanded ON.

The ECM detects an open, a short to ground, or a short to voltage on the circuit that controls the MIL.

DTC P0650 is a Type B DTC.

DTC P0650 is a Type B DTC.

If the condition is intermittent, move the related harnesses and connectors with the engine operating. Monitor the scan tool Circuit Test Status parameters for the component. The Circuit Test Status parameter will change from OK or Not Run to Fault if there is a condition with the circuit or a connection.

Control Module References for scan tool information

1. Ignition ON, observe the scan tool MIL Circuit Test Status parameters. Each of the MIL circuit test status parameters should display OK or Not Run.
2. Ignition ON, command the MIL ON and OFF with a scan tool. The MIL should turn ON and OFF as commanded.
3. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC to verify the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.

1. If any other IPC indicators or gages are inoperative, refer to Instrument Cluster Gages Inoperative.
2. Ignition OFF, disconnect the ECM harness connectors. Ignition ON, the MIL should not illuminate.

⇒	If the MIL is illuminated, test the MIL control circuit terminal 21-X2 for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the IPC.

3. Ignition ON, connect a 3 A fused jumper wire between the MIL control circuit terminal 21-X2 and ground. The MIL should illuminate.

⇒	If the MIL does not illuminate, test the MIL control circuit for a short to voltage, or an open/high resistance. If the circuit test normal, replace the IPC/bulb.

4. If all circuits/connections test normal, replace the ECM.

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
