These 5-volt reference circuits are independent of each other outside the engine control module (ECM), but are bussed together inside the ECM. Therefore, a circuit condition on one sensor 5-volt reference circuit may affect the other sensor 5-volt reference circuits. The ECM monitors the voltage on the 5-volt reference circuit.

Conditions for Running the DTC

•	The ignition is ON.

•	Diagnostics run continuously.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

P0698

•	The ECM detects the 5-volt reference 3 circuit voltage is less than 4.7 volts.

•	The above condition is present for 2 seconds.

P0699

•	The ECM detects the 5-volt reference 3 circuit voltage is more than 5.2 volts.

•	The above condition is present for 2 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

DTCs P0698 and P0699 are Type A DTCs.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

DTCs P0698 and P0699 are Type A DTCs.

Circuit/System Verification

Engine starts and runs.

Circuit/System Testing

Important: Additional DTCs will set when disconnecting the components.

Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector of all appropriate sensors for the applicable DTC.

Important: A short to voltage on the signal circuit of certain components may cause this DTC to set.

Ignition ON, measure for 4.8-5.2 volts between one of the 5-volt reference circuits and ground.

⇒	If the voltage is less than the specified range, test for a short to ground on all the 5-volt reference circuits. If all circuits test normal, replace the ECM.

⇒	If the voltage is greater than the specified range, test for a short to voltage on all the 5-volt reference circuits. If all circuits test normal, replace the ECM.

Connect each component associated with the 5-volt reference circuit, one at a time, while monitoring the voltage. The voltage should not change more than 1 volt.

⇒	If the voltage display increases greater than the specified value when a component is connected, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If all circuits test normal, replace the ECM.

⇒	If the voltage display decreases more than the specified value when a component is connected, replace the component.
