The MIL is located on the instrument panel (IP) cluster. Ignition 1 voltage is supplied directly to the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). The engine control module (ECM) turns the MIL ON by grounding the MIL control circuit. There should be a steady MIL with the ignition ON and the engine OFF.

The ECM detects the MIL control circuit is open or shorted to ground or voltage.

DTC P0650 is a Type C DTC.

1. Engine idling, command the MIL ON and OFF with a scan tool. The MIL should turn ON and OFF.
2. Observe the DTC information with a scan tool. DTC P0650 should not set.
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 indicators are inoperative on the instrument panel (IP) cluster, refer to Symptoms - Displays and Gages.
2. Ignition OFF, disconnect the ECM harness connector.
3. Ignition ON, the MIL should not illuminate.

⇒	If the MIL illuminates, test the MIL control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit test normal, replace the instrument panel (IP) cluster.

4. Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the MIL control circuit terminal K64 or C49 and ground. The MIL should illuminate.

⇒	If the MIL does not illuminate, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit test normal, replace the instrument panel (IP) cluster.

⇒	If the MIL illuminates, inspect for a poor connection or replace the ECM.

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
