The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom described in the PI.

Condition/Concern:

Reduced power light on and DTC P1680 P1221 and/or P1271 stored in the PCM

Recommendation/Instructions:

Monitor the 5V reference to the Accelerator Pedal Position ( APP ) sensor, circuit 1274, using Peak Min/Max on a Fluke 87. Refer to Si document 1454678 for the 5V reference schematics. Command the fan clutch control "on" with the Tech 2 at 50%. If when commanding the fan clutch on, the 5V reverence spikes to battery voltage, the concern is the 5V reference shorted to battery voltage intermittently inside cooling fan clutch. Replace the fan clutch to repair this concern.
