Circuit Description

The Throttle Actuator Control (TAC) System uses an ignition voltage supply separate from the powertrain control module (PCM) supply. If the PCM detects a voltage difference between the 2 circuits, this diagnostic trouble code (DTC) will set.

DTC Descriptor

This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:

DTC P1682 Ignition 1 Switch Circuit 2

Conditions for Running the DTC
    • The ignition is ON.
    • DTC P1682 runs continuously when the above conditions are met.

Conditions for Setting the DTC
    • The ignition 1 voltage is less than 10 volts.
    • The above condition is present for more than 1.6 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
    • The control module stores the DTC information into memory when the diagnostic runs and fails.
    • The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will not illuminate.
    • The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The control module stores this information in the Failure Records.
    • The driver information center, if equipped, may display a message.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC
    • 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 non-emission related diagnostic.
    • Clear the DTC with a scan tool.

  1. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.

    2. Important: Operating the throttle blade with the Throttle Blade Control function of the scan tool may cause additional DTCs to set. Do not attempt to diagnose DTCs set during this function.

  2. With a scan tool, command the throttle blade to 100 percent and back to 0 percent. Exit the throttle blade control function.

Did the throttle blade angle follow the commanded angle?
