Circuit Description
There are no sensors or circuits associated with this 5-volt reference DTC on this vehicle. If this DTC is set, it indicates that an internal powertrain control module (PCM) malfunction has occurred and is causing this DTC to set.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The engine must be running.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | The PCM detects a voltage out of tolerance condition on the 5-volt reference circuit. |
| • | The above condition is present for more than 10 seconds. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails. |
| • | The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time the diagnostic fails, the control module stores this information in the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the control module records the operating conditions at the time of the failure. The control module writes the operating conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the 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. |
