DTC Descriptor
DTC P0651 00: 5V Reference 2 Circuit Malfunction
Circuit/System Description
The engine control module (ECM) has three 5-volt reference circuits. The ECM provides the 5-volt reference to various sensors. Each reference circuit provides a 5-volt reference for greater than one sensor. A short to ground or voltage on
one of the 5-volt reference circuits will affect all components connected to that 5-volt reference circuit. The ECM monitors the voltage on the 5-volt reference circuits.
Conditions for Running the DTC
• | The DTCs run continuously when the above condition is met. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The control module detects a voltage above 5.5 V, or below 4.5 V, on any of the 5-volt reference circuits for greater than 0.5 s.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
• | DTC P0651 is a Type B DTC. |
• | The ECM commands the TAC system to operate in a Reduced Engine Power mode. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
DTC P0651 is a Type B DTC.
Diagnostic Aids
If a shared 5-volt reference circuit is shorted to ground or shorted to a voltage, other 5-volt reference circuits may be affected.
P0651
The 5-volt reference 2 circuit provides 5 V to the accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor 1, camshaft position sensor, turbocharger boost pressure sensor and fuel rail pressure sensor.

Circuit/System Verification
- Ignition ON, observe the DTC information with a scan tool. DTCs P0651 should not set.
- Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC to verify the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.
Circuit/System Testing
Note: Additional DTCs will set when disconnecting the components.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at all appropriate sensors for the applicable DTC. Refer to Diagnostic Aids.
- Ignition ON, test for 4.6-5.4 V between the 5-volt reference circuit and ground.
⇒ | If the voltage is less than the specified range, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to ground. If all circuits test normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module (ECM). |
⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the 5-volt reference circuit for each component associated with the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to voltage. If all circuits test normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module (ECM). |
Note: A short to voltage on the signal circuit of certain components may cause this DTC to set.
- Observe the scan tool that DTC P0651 is not set while connecting each component associated with the 5-volt reference circuit one at a time..
⇒ | If the DTC sets when a component is connected, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If all circuits test normal, replace the component. |
