* 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
Circuit/System Description
The engine control module (ECM) has a 5 V reference buss for each 5 V reference circuit. The circuits are called 5 V reference 1 and 5 V reference 2. Each bus provides a 5 V reference for more than one sensor. A fault condition on one 5 V reference circuit will affect the other 5 V reference circuits connected to that reference bus. The ECM monitors the voltage on the 5 V reference circuits.
Conditions for Running the DTC
* DTCs P0601, P0602, P0603, P0604, P0605, P0606, P0607, P060D, P062F and P2610 are not set.
* The ignition is ON.
* The ignition voltage is greater than 5.23 V.
* The DTCs run continuously when the above conditions are met.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The ECM detects a voltage out of range condition on the 5 V reference 1 or 2 bus for greater than 0.5 s.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
DTC P0641 and P0651 are Type A DTCs.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
DTC P0641 and P0651 are Type A DTCs.
Diagnostic Aids
* The 5 V reference 1 bus provides 5 V to the following sensors:
- B74 manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- B150 fuel tank pressure (FTP) sensor
- B107 accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor 2
- B1 air conditioning (A/C) refrigerant pressure sensor
- All four B23 camshaft position sensors
* The 5 V reference 2 bus provides 5 V to the following sensors:
- B107 APP sensor 1
- Q38 throttle position sensor 1 and 2
- B26 crankshaft position sensor
* 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 status parameter on the scan tool. The scan tool parameter will change from Fault 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. Observe the scan tool 5 V reference 1 and the 5 V reference 2 parameters. Verify the parameters display between 4.8-5.2 V.
2. Ignition ON, observe the DTC information with a scan tool. DTCs P0641 and P0651 should not set on this ignition cycle.
3. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.
Circuit/System Testing
Note: A short to voltage on the signal circuit of certain components may cause this DTC to set.
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector of all appropriate sensors for the applicable DTC. Refer to Diagnostic Aids for the appropriate sensors.
2. Ignition ON, measure for 4.8-5.2 V between one of the 5 V reference circuits and ground.
• If less than the specified range, test for a short to ground on all the 5 V reference circuits. If all circuits test normal, replace the K20 ECM.
• If greater than the specified range, test for a short to voltage on all the 5 V reference circuits. If all circuits test normal, replace the K20 ECM.
3. Connect each component associated with the 5 V reference circuit, one at a time, while monitoring the voltage. Verify the voltage remains between 4.8-5.2 V.
• If not within the specified range when a component is connected, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the appropriate component.
