Output Driver Modules (ODMs) are used by the PCM to turn on many of the current-driven devices that are needed to control various engine and Transaxle functions. Each ODM is capable of controlling up to 7 separate outputs by applying ground to the device which the PCM is commanding ON.

Unlike the Quad Driver Modules (QDMs) used in prior model years, ODMs have the capability of diagnosing each output circuit individually. DTC P1652 set indicates an improper voltage level has been detected on ODM B output 2, which controls the Fan 2 relay.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

•	Ignition is ON.

•	An improper voltage level has been detected on the Fan 2 relay driver circuit.

•	Above conditions for at least 20 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

•	The PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) during the second consecutive trip in which the diagnostic test has been run and failed.

•	The PCM will store conditions which were present when the DTC set as Freeze Frame and Failure Records data.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

•	The PCM will turn OFF the MIL during the third consecutive trip in which the diagnostic has been run and passed.

•	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.

Diagnostic Aids

Check for the following conditions:

•	Poor connection at PCM. Inspect harness connectors for backed out terminals, improper mating, broken locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals, and poor terminal to wire connection.

•

Damaged harness. Inspect the wiring harness for damage. If the harness appears to be OK, disconnect the PCM, turn the ignition ON and observe a voltmeter connected to the Fan 2 relay driver circuit at the PCM harness connector while moving connectors and wiring harnesses related to the Fan 2 relay. A change in voltage will indicate the location of the fault.

Reviewing the Fail Records vehicle mileage since the diagnostic test last failed may help determine how often the condition that caused the DTC to be set occurs. This may assist in diagnosing the condition.

Test Description

Number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the Diagnostic Chart.

Normally, ignition feed voltage present on the output driver circuit with the PCM disconnected and the ignition turned ON.

Checks for a shorted component or a short to B+ on the output driver circuit. Either condition would result in a measured current of over 1.5 amps. Also checks for a component that is going open while being operated, resulting in a measured current of 0 amps.

Checks for a faulty Fan 2 relay.

This vehicle is equipped with a PCM which utilizes an Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM). When the PCM is being replaced, the new PCM must be programmed. Refer to Powertrain Control Module Replacement/Programming

Step	Action	Value(s)	Yes	No
1	Was the Powertrain On-Board Diagnostic System Check performed?	--	Go to Step 2	Go to Powertrain OBD System Check
2	Ignition OFF, disconnect the PCM. Ignition ON. Using DVM (J 39200), measure voltage between the fan 2 relay driver circuit at the PCM harness connector and ground. Is voltage near the specified value?	B+	Go to Step 3	Go to Step 6
3	Set up DVM to measure 10 amp range. Measure current between the MIL output driver circuit and ground. Monitor the current reading on the DVM for at least 2 minutes. Does the current reading remain between the specified values?	0.1 Amp -1.5 Amps	Go to Step 11	Go to Step 4
4	Disconnect the fan 2 relay (leave the PCM disconnected). Using DVM, measure voltage between the fan 2 relay driver circuit and ground. Is voltage at the specified value?	0V	Go to Step 14	Go to Step 5
5	Locate and repair short to voltage in the fan 2 relay driver circuit (refer to Engine Electrical). Is action complete?	--	Go to Step 16	--
6	Check the ignition feed fuse for the fan 2 relay. Is the fuse blown?	--	Go to Step 7	Go to Step 8
7	Locate and repair short to ground in ignition feed circuit for the fan 2 relay (refer to Fuse Block Details in Electrical Diagnosis). Replace fuse. Is action complete?	--	Go to Step 16	--
8	Disconnect the fan 2 relay. Ignition ON, measure voltage between the ignition feed circuit for the fan 2 relay and ground. Is voltage near the specified value?	B+	Go to Step 9	Go to Step 13
9	Check the fan 2 relay driver circuit for an open or a short to ground. If a problem is found, repair the fan 2 relay driver circuit. Was a problem found?	--	Go to Step 16	Go to Step 10
10	Check the output driver circuit and the ignition feed circuit for a poor connection at the fan 2 relay and at the PCM. If a problem is found, replace faulty terminal(s). Was a problem found?	--	Go to Step 16	Go to Step 14
11	Ignition OFF, reconnect the PCM and disconnect the fan 2 relay. Ignition ON, connect a test light between the fan 2 relay driver circuit and the ignition feed circuit at the fan 2 relay harness connector. Using the scan tool outputs test function, cycle the fan 2 relay ON and OFF. Does the test light flash ON and OFF?	--	Refer to Diagnostic Aids	Go to Step 12
12	Check the fan 2 relay driver circuit for a poor connection at the PCM. If a problem is found, replace faulty terminal. Was a problem found?	--	Go to Step 16	Go to Step 15
13	Locate and repair open in ignition feed circuit to the fan 2 relay (refer to Engine Electrical). Is action complete?	--	Go to Step 16	--
14	Replace the fan 2 relay. Is action complete?	--	Go to Step 16	--
15	Replace the PCM. Important: Replacement PCM must be programmed. Refer to Powertrain Control Module Replacement/Programming Is action complete?	--	Go to Step 16	--
16	Ignition ON, engine OFF, review and record scan tool Fail Records data. Clear DTCs. Operate vehicle within Fail Records conditions as noted. Using a scan tool, monitor SPECIFIC DTC info for DTC P1651. Does scan tool indicate DTC P1651 failed this ignition?	--	Go to Step 2	Repair complete
