* Review Strategy Based Diagnosis (Strategy Based Diagnosis) for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
* Diagnostic Procedure Instructions (Diagnostic Procedure Instructions) provides an overview of each diagnostic category.
DTC Descriptors
DTC P0641
- 5 V Reference 1 Circuit
DTC P0651
- 5 V Reference 2 Circuit
DTC P0697
- 5 V Reference 3 Circuit
DTC P06A3
- 5 V Reference 4 Circuit
Circuit/System Description
The engine control module (ECM) has 4 internal 5 V reference circuits. Each internal reference circuit provides a 5 V reference for more than one sensor. A short to ground or short to voltage on one external 5 V reference circuit will affect the other components connected to the same internal reference circuit.
Conditions for Running the DTC
DTCs P0641, P0651, P0697, P06A3 run continuously when the ignition is ON.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The 5 V reference circuit voltage is greater or less than a predetermined threshold.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
DTCs P0641, P0651, P0697, and P06A3 are Type A DTCs.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
DTCs P0641, P0651, P0697, and P06A3 are Type A DTCs.
Diagnostic Aids
DTC P0641
The 5 V reference 1 circuit provides 5 V to the following sensors:
* Fuel tank pressure (FTP) sensor
* Fuel rail pressure (FRP) sensor
* A/C refrigerant pressure sensor
* Exhaust camshaft position sensor
* Intake camshaft position sensor
DTC P0651
The 5 V reference 2 circuit provides 5 V to the following sensors:
* Crankshaft position sensor
* Secondary air injection pressure sensor
DTC P0697
The 5 V reference 3 circuit provides 5 V to the following sensors:
* Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
* Accelerator pedal position sensor 2
DTC P06A3
The 5 V reference 4 circuit provides 5 V to the following sensors:
* Throttle position sensor
* Accelerator pedal position sensor 1
It may be possible to locate the fault by disconnecting one component at a time from the affected 5 V reference circuit while viewing the 5 V Reference Circuit parameter on the scan tool. The scan tool parameter will change from Malfunction to OK when the source of the fault is disconnected. If all 5 V reference components have been disconnected and a fault is still indicated, the fault may exist in the wiring harness.

Circuit/System Verification
1. Ignition ON, observe the DTC information with a scan tool. DTC P0641, P0651, P0697, or P06A3 should not set.
2. Observe the appropriate scan tool 5 V Reference Circuit Test Status parameter. The parameter should display OK.
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: Additional DTCs will set when disconnecting the components.
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector of all appropriate sensors for the applicable DTC. Refer to Diagnostic Aids.
2. Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 V between one of the affected 5 V reference circuits and ground.
• If the voltage is less than the specified range, test for a short to ground on the 5 V reference circuit for each of the affected components. If all circuits test normal, replace the K20 ECM.
• If the voltage is greater than the specified range, test for a short to voltage on the 5 V reference circuit for each of the affected components. If all circuits test normal, replace the K20 ECM.
Note: A short to voltage on the signal circuit of certain components may cause this DTC to set.
3. Connect each component associated with the affected 5 V reference circuit one at a time while monitoring the appropriate scan tool 5 V Reference Voltage parameter. Verify the voltage remains between 4.8-5.2 V.
• If not the specified range when a component is connected, test the signal circuit of that component for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the component.
