P1634

Wiring Diagram:






CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

The PCM is powered with 5 power feeds. Two of these feeds are from the battery, the other three are from the ignition switch and are called Ignition 1, Ignition 0 and Ignition Supplement. The ignition switch feeds are powered any time the key is in the CRANK, RUN or ACC positions. This diagnostic test is used to monitor the voltages received by the PCM at connector C1 terminals 18 and 19. When the engine is running, the PCM will compare the Ignition 1 voltage it receives at connector C1 terminal 19 to the Ignition 0 voltage it receives at connector C1 terminal 18. If the voltages are more than 2 volts different for 5 seconds, DTC P1834 will set.

CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING THE DTC

Engine running

CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC

Voltage difference between Ignition 1, PCM 01-19, and Ignition 0, PCM 01-18, inputs greater than 2 volts for 5 seconds.


ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS

^ The PCM will illuminate the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) when the diagnostic runs and fails.

^ The PCM will record operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. This information will be stored in the Freeze Frame and Failure Records.

CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE MIL/DTC

^ The PCM will turn the MIL OFF after three consecutive drive trips that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.

^ A Last Test Failed (current) DTC will clear when the diagnostic runs and does not fail.

^ A History DTC will clear after forty consecutive warm-up cycles with no failures of any emission related diagnostic test.

^ PCM battery voltage is interrupted.

^ Using a Scan tool.


DIAGNOSTIC AIDS

If this DTC is intermittent check terminal contact at the PCM and the condition of the CKT 439 splice for an intermittent open condition.

If the Ignition 0 to the PCM is lost the vehicle will still run but some outputs may not function, if the Ignition 1 voltage is lost or goes below 5.5 volts the vehicle will not run but DTC P1634 should set.
