DTC Descriptor
DTC P1682
- Ignition 1 Switch Circuit 2
Diagnostic Fault Information
Typical Scan Tool Data
Circuit/System Description
There are 2 ignition voltage circuits supplied to the engine control module (ECM). The first ignition circuit is provided by the engine controls ignition relay or 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 second ignition voltage circuit is supplied by the run/crank relay through a fuse, and is used to power the remaining internal ECM circuits. If the ECM detects a voltage difference between the 2 ignition voltage circuits, DTC P1682 will set.
Conditions for Running the DTC
* The ignition is ON.
* System voltage is more than 6 V.
* The powertrain relay is commanded ON.
* DTC P1682 runs continuously.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The ECM detects that the voltage level difference is greater than 3 V between the 2 ignition voltage circuits for less than 1 s.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
DTC P1682 is a Type A DTC.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
DTC P1682 is a Type A DTC.
Diagnostic Aids
This test procedure requires that the vehicle battery has passed a load test and is completely charged. Refer to Battery Inspection/Test (Battery Inspection/Test).

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 Ignition 1 Voltage signal and the EC Ignition Relay Feedback 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. 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. Ignition ON, connect a 20 A fused jumper wire between B+ and the applicable ignition voltage circuit terminal. 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 ECM.
4. If all circuits test normal, replace the applicable relay.
