Circuit/System Description

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

Conditions for Running the DTC
    • The ignition is ON.
    • The diagnostics run continuously.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

P0652

    • The ECM detects the 5-volt reference 2 circuit voltage is less than 4.7 volts.
    • The above condition is present for 2 seconds.

P0653

    • The ECM detects the 5-volt reference 2 circuit voltage is more than 5.2 volts.
    • The above condition is present for 2 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
    • The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) when the diagnostic runs and fails.
    • The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The control module stores this information in the Freeze Frame/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.

Circuit/System Verification
  1. The engine starts and runs.
  2. Observe the 5-Volt Reference 2 Circuit Status parameter with a scan tool. The parameter should display OK.
  3. Engine running, observe the DTC information with a scan tool. DTCs P0652 or P0653 should not set.
  4. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.

Circuit/System Testing

Important: Additional DTCs will set when disconnecting the components.

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

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

  2. Ignition ON, measure for 4.8-5.2 volts between one of the 5-volt reference circuits and ground.
    3. ⇒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.
  3. 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.
    4. ⇒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.
