P1654

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
A dash light is illuminated by the powertrain control module (PCM) if the diagnostic has detected certain errors related to the accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor. When the PCM is commanding the service throttle soon lamp ON, the voltage potential of the circuit will be low, near 0 volts. When the PCM is commanding the service throttle soon lamp OFF, the voltage potential of the circuit will be high, near the battery voltage. The primary function of the PCM in this circuit is to supply the ground for the service throttle soon lamp.

CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING THE DTC
The ignition is in the ON position.

CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
^ The service throttle soon lamp is requested ON.
^ The voltage on the service throttle soon control circuit is high, near the battery voltage.
or
^ The service throttle soon lamp is requested OFF.
^ The voltage on the service throttle soon control circuit is low, near 0 volts.

ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
^ The control module stores the DTC information into memory when the diagnostic runs and fails.
^ The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will not illuminate.
^ The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The control module stores this information in the Failure Records.
^ The driver information center, if equipped, may display a message.

CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE DTC
^ 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 non-emission related diagnostic.
^ Clear the DTC with a scan tool.

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
A malfunctioning bulb or the control circuit is shorted to ground will cause a DTC P1654 to set.
