Circuit Description
The engine control module (ECM) provides 5 volts to the following sensors:
| • | The accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor 1 |
| • | The throttle position (TP) sensor 1 and 2 |
| • | The cooling fan speed sensor |
These 5-volt reference circuits are independent of each other outside the ECM, but are bussed together inside the ECM. Therefore a circuit condition on one sensor 5-volt reference circuit may affect the other sensor 5-volt reference circuits. The ECM monitors the voltage on the 5-volt reference circuit. If the ECM detects that the voltage is out of tolerance, DTC P0651 sets.
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC P0651 5-Volt Reference 2 Circuit
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | DTCs P0601, P0602, P0603, P0604, P0606, P0607, P1621, P2610 are not set. |
| • | The ignition is ON. |
| • | The ignition voltage is more than 5.23 volts. |
| • | DTC P0651 runs continuously once the above conditions are met. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The ECM detects a voltage out of tolerance condition on the 5-volt reference circuit for more than 0.5 second.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) when the diagnostic runs and fails. |
| • | The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The control module stores this information in the Freeze Frame/Failure Records. |
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
| • | The control module turns OFF the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail. |
| • | A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes. |
| • | A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other emission related diagnostic. |
| • | Clear the MIL and the DTC with a scan tool. |
