Circuit/System Description
The engine control module (ECM) has 3 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. An open, short to ground, or
short voltage on one of the 5-volt reference circuits can affect all the 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 ignition is ON for greater than 2 seconds. |
| • | DTCs P0641, P0642, P0643, P0651, P0652, P0653, P0697, P0698, and P0699 run continuously when the above condition is met. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The 5-volt reference circuit voltage is above or below a predetermined threshold. The condition exists, then a 5 second delay for MIL ON.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
DTCs P0641, P0642, P0643, P0651, P0652, P0653, P0697, P0698, and P0699 are Type A DTCs.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
DTCs P0641, P0642, P0643, P0651, P0652, P0653, P0697, P0698, and P0699 are Type A DTCs.
Diagnostic Aids
| • | The 5-volt reference 1 circuit provides 5 volts to the following sensors: |
| - | Fuel tank pressure (FTP) sensor terminal C, if equipped |
| - | Engine oil pressure (EOP) sensor terminal B |
| • | The 5-volt reference 2 circuit provides 5 volts to the following sensors: |
| - | All four camshaft position (CMP) sensors terminal 3 |
| - | Accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor 1 |
| • | The 5-volt reference 3 circuit provides 5 volts to the following sensors: |
| - | Throttle position (TP) sensor 1 and 2 terminal E |
| - | Crankshaft position (CKP) sensor terminal 3 |
| - | Accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor 2 terminal 1 |
| - | A/C pressure sensor terminal 1 |
| • | If the condition is intermittent, move the related harnesses and connectors with the engine operating. Monitor the scan tool 5-volt Reference Circuit Test Status parameters for the affected components. The circuit test status parameter will
change from OK or Not Run to Fault if there is a condition with the circuit or a connection. |

Circuit/System Verification
- Ignition ON, observe the DTC information with a scan tool. DTC P0641, P0642, P0643, P0651, P0652, P0653, P0697, P0698, or P0699 should not set.
- Observe the appropriate scan tool 5-volt Reference Circuit Test Status parameter. The parameter should display OK or Not Run.
- 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 of all appropriate sensors for the applicable DTC. Refer to Diagnostic Aids.
- Ignition ON, test for 4.6-5.2 V between one of the affected 5-volt reference circuits and ground.
| ⇒ | If the voltage is less than the specified range, test for a short to ground or for an open between the ECM and the circuit splice. If the circuit test normal, replace the ECM. |
| ⇒ | If the voltage is greater than the specified range, test for a short to voltage on the 5-volt reference circuit. If the circuit test normal, replace the ECM. |
Note: A short to voltage on the signal circuit of certain components may cause this DTC to set.
- Connect each component associated with the affected 5-volt reference circuit one at a time while monitoring the appropriate scan tool 5-Volt Reference Circuit Status parameter. The parameter should continue to display OK.
| ⇒ | If the parameter displays Fault when a component is connected, test the signal circuit of that component for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the component. |
