DTC Descriptor
DTC P1682
- Ignition 1 Switch Circuit 2
Diagnostic Fault Information
Typical Scan Tool Data
Circuit/System Description
There are two ignition voltage circuits supplied to the engine control module (ECM). The first ignition voltage circuit is provided by the powertrain relay through a fuse. This ignition voltage circuit supplies power to all the internal ECM circuits associated with the throttle actuator control (TAC) operation. The RUN/CRNK relay provides the second ignition voltage circuit to the ECM through a fuse. This ignition voltage provides power to other internal ECM circuits, except those associated with TAC operation. The ECM continuously monitors the voltage level difference between the 2 circuits.
Conditions for Running the DTC
* The ignition is in the Unlock/Accessory, Run, or Crank position.
* The system voltage is more than 5.23 V.
* The powertrain relay is commanded ON.
* DTC P1682 runs continuously when the above conditions are met.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The ignition voltage of the RUN/CRNK Relay is more than 3 V different than the ignition voltage of the powertrain relay for more than 2 s.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
* DTC P1682 is a Type A DTC.
* Engine may operate in a reduced engine power mode.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
DTC P1682 is a Type A DTC.

Circuit/System Verification
Note: On the scan tool, the powertrain relay is referred to as the EC ignition relay.
1. If DTCs P0685 or P0690 are set, diagnose those DTCs first.
2. Ignition ON, observe the scan tool EC Ignition Relay Feedback Signal and Ignition 1 Signal parameters. There should be no more than 3 V difference between the two parameters.
3. 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: You must perform the Circuit/System Verification before proceeding with Circuit/System Testing.
1. Ignition ON, observe the Ignition 1 Signal and the EC Ignition Relay Feedback scan tool parameter to determine which is more than 3 V lower than the other.
Note: The Ignition 1 Signal is supplied by the Run/Crank relay. The EC Ignition Relay Feedback signal is supplied by the powertrain relay.
2. Ignition OFF, remove the relay that corresponds to the scan tool parameter that is more than 3 V lower.
Note: A resistance of 6 ohm or greater in the circuit/underhood fuse block will cause the DTC to set.
3. Connect a 20 A fused jumper wire between B+ and the applicable ignition voltage circuit terminal 87 leading to the K20 ECM. Ignition ON, verify that the applicable scan tool parameter displays between 9-14 V.
• If the applicable scan tool parameter is less than the specified value, test the ignition voltage circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 ECM.
4. Ignition OFF, connect a DMM set to the diode setting between the control circuit terminal 86 and ground. Verify the DMM displays OL.
• If not the specified value, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 ECM.
5. Ignition ON, verify the DMM displays less than 1 V.
• If not the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 ECM.
6. If all circuits test normal, replace the applicable relay.
