P0641



DTC P0641

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The powertrain control module (PCM) provides 5 volts to the following sensors:
- The engine oil pressure (EOP) sensor
- The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor

These 5-volt reference circuits are independent of each other outside the PCM, but are bussed together inside the PCM. Therefore a circuit condition on one sensor 5-volt reference circuit may affect the other sensor 5-volt reference circuits. The PCM monitors the voltage on the 5-volt reference circuit. If the PCM detects that the voltage is out of tolerance, DTC P0641 sets.

DTC DESCRIPTOR
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC P0641 5-Volt Reference 1 Circuit

CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING THE DTC
- The engine is running.
- DTC P0641 runs continuously when the above condition is met.

CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
The PCM detects a voltage out of tolerance condition on the 5-volt reference circuit for more than 2 seconds.

ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
- The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
- The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time the diagnostic fails, the control module stores this information in the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the control module records the operating conditions at the time of the failure. The control module writes the operating conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the 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.

TEST DESCRIPTION

Steps 1-12:




Steps 13-14:




The number below refers to the step number on the diagnostic table.
9. A short to voltage on the signal circuit of the MAP sensor will backfeed through the sensor into the 5-volt reference circuit and set this DTC.
