DTC Descriptor

DTC P0650

-
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) Control Circuit

Diagnostic Fault Information






Circuit/System Description

The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) is located on the instrument panel cluster (IPC).

The MIL informs the driver that an emission system fault has occurred and that the engine control system requires service. The engine control module (ECM) the MIL control circuit for conditions that are incorrect for the commanded states of the MIL.

Conditions for Running the DTC

* The ignition is in the Run or Crank position.

* The ignition voltage is between 9-18 volts.

* DTC P0650 runs continuously when the ignition is ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The ECM detects that the commanded state of the MIL driver and the actual state of the control circuit do not match for more than 5 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

DTC P0650 is a Type B DTC.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

DTC P0650 is a Type B DTC.

Circuit/System Verification

1. Ignition ON, command the MIL ON and OFF with a scan tool. The MIL should turn ON and OFF as commanded.

2. Ignition ON, observe each of the MIL control circuit Test Status parameters listed below with a scan tool.

* The MIL Ckt Short Gnd Test Status

* The MIL Ckt Open Test Status

* The MIL Ckt Short Volts Test Status

Each parameter should display OK or Not Run.

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

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the IPC.

2. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the ignition circuit and ground.

If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ignition circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal and the ignition circuit fuse is open, replace the IPC.

3. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit and the ignition circuit.

4. Command the MIL ON and OFF with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.

If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.

If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.

5. If all circuits test normal, replace the IPC.
