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 control module monitors the MIL control circuit for conditions that are incorrect for the commanded states of the MIL.

P1650

The engine control module (ECM) detects the MIL control circuit is shorted to voltage.

P1651

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

DTC P1650 and P1651 are Type B DTCs.

1. Turn ON the ignition. Command the MIL ON and OFF with a scan tool. The MIL should turn ON and OFF when commanded.
2. If the vehicle passes the Circuit/System Verification Test, then operate the vehicle within the conditions for running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that are captured in the Freeze Frame/Failure Records Data List.

1. If any other IPC indicators or gages are inoperative, refer to Symptoms - Instrument Panel, Gages and Console .
2. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector of the ECM.
3. Ignition ON, connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the MIL control circuit and ground. The MIL should illuminate.

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

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

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
