P1628-SENSOR REFERENCE VOLTAGE 2 ERRATIC

For a complete wiring diagram consult Diagrams/Electrical.


- When Monitored:
With the ignition on.

- Set Condition:
The PCM detects that the 5 volt supply circuit voltage is below the minimum acceptable value. One Trip Fault. ETC light is flashing.







Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview.


Diagnostic Test


1. DTC IS ACTIVE

NOTE: Improperly installed aftermarket accessories can cause this DTC to set. Check for any improperly installed aftermarket accessories before continuing with this test.

Start the engine and allow it to idle for at least 60 seconds.

WARNING: When the engine is operating, do not stand in direct line with the fan. Do not put your hands near the pulleys, belts, or fan. Do not wear loose clothing. Failure to follow these instructions can result in personal injury or death.

With a scan tool, select View DTCs.
Is the status Active for this DTC?

Yes


- Go to 2


No


- Refer to the *CHECKING FOR AN INTERMITTENT DTC Diagnostic Procedure.Checking For An Intermittent DTC




2. (F856) 5 VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND
Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the connector from each sensor that shares the (F856) 5 Volt Supply.
Disconnect all of the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) connectors.
Measure the resistance between ground and the (F856) 5 Volt Supply circuit in the Camshaft Position Sensor harness connector.
Is the resistance above 100 ohms?

Yes


- Go to 3


No


- Repair the (F856) 5 Volt Supply circuit for a short to ground.
- Perform the PCM Verification Test.Powertrain Verification Test




3. (F856) 5 VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT SHORTED TO VOLTAGE
Turn the ignition on.
Measure the voltage of the (F856) 5 Volt Supply circuit in the Camshaft Position Sensor harness connector.
Is there any voltage present?

Yes


- Repair the (F856) 5 Volt Supply circuit for a short to voltage.
- Perform the PCM Verification Test.Powertrain Verification Test


No


- Go to 4




4. (F856) 5 VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT VOLTAGE
Turn the ignition off.
Connect all of the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) connectors.
Turn the ignition on.
Measure the voltage of the (F856) 5 Volt Supply circuit in the Camshaft Position Sensor harness connector.
Is the voltage between 4.5 and 5.2 volts?

Yes


- Go to 5


No


- Go to 6




5. SENSOR OR COMPONENT SHORTED INTERNALLY

CAUTION: You must turn the ignition OFF when connecting or disconnecting a sensor or component connector, then turn the ignition ON when checking the circuit voltage.

Connect the connector for each sensor that shares the (F856) 5 Volt Supply circuit, one at a time, and measure the voltage of the (F856) 5 Volt Supply circuit at the Camshaft Position Sensor harness connector.

NOTE: To check the Camshaft Position Sensor, connect the Camshaft Position Sensor harness connector and measure the voltage by backprobing the circuit at the Camshaft Position Sensor harness connector.

Is the voltage between 4.5 and 5.2 volts each time a sensor or component is connected?

Yes


- Go to 6


No


- Replace the internally shorted sensor or component.
- Perform the PCM Verification Test.Powertrain Verification Test




6. CHECKING THE PCM POWER AND GROUND CIRCUITS
Perform the diagnostic procedure for *CHECKING THE PCM POWER AND GROUND CIRCUITS.
Were any problems found?

Yes


- Repair the PCM power and ground circuit(s) as necessary.
- Perform the PCM Verification Test.Powertrain Verification Test


No


- Go to 7




7. POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM)
Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors between all applicable components and the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires.
Look for broken, bent, pushed out or corroded terminals.
Search for any Technical Service Bulletins that may apply.
Were any problems found?

Yes


- Repair as necessary.
- Perform the PCM Verification Test.Powertrain Verification Test


No


- Replace and program the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
- Perform the PCM Verification Test.Powertrain Verification Test
