DTC P1653 TCS Delivered Torque Control Circuit (1 Of 2):
DTC P1653 TCS Delivered Torque Control Circuit (2 Of 2):
TCS Desired Torque Circuit:
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The Electronic Brake and Traction Control Module (EBTCM) controls the Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) signal on the Desired Torque circuit while monitoring the wheel speed sensors to detect slippage. The PCM monitors the PWM signal and reduces engine torque as needed by retarding ignition timing, decreasing boost duty cycle, increasing air/fuel ratio, or, in severe cases, shutting OFF up to three fuel injectors. The PCM sends a PWM signal to the Electronic Brake and Traction Control Module (EBTCM) on the delivered torque circuit informing the EBTCM of response made to the desired torque signal. A problem with the delivered torque circuit should cause DTC P1653 and ABS/TCS DTC 76 to set and traction control to be disabled. Refer to ABS/TCS for further information.
CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
^ The ignition is ON.
^ An improper voltage level has been detected on Output Driver Module (ODM) B output 3 (the traction control delivered torque output driver circuit).
^ The above conditions present for at least 30 seconds.
ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
^ The PCM will not illuminate the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL).
^ The PCM will store conditions which were present when the DTC set as Fail Records data only. This information will not be stored as Freeze Frame data.
CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE MIL/DTC
^ A history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles have occurred without a fault.
^ DTC can be cleared by using the scan tool Clear Info function or by disconnecting the PCM battery feed.
DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
Check for the following conditions:
^ Poor connection at the PCM. Inspect harness connectors for backed out terminals, improper mating, broken locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals, and poor terminal to wire connection.
^ Damaged harness. Inspect the wiring harness for damage.
^ If the harness appears to be OK, disconnect the PCM, turn the ignition ON and observe a digital multimeter connected between the Traction Control Delivered Torque driver circuit and ground at the PCM harness connector while moving connectors and wiring harnesses related to the EBTCM. A change in voltage will indicate the location of the fault.
Reviewing the Fail Records vehicle mileage since the diagnostic test last failed may help determine how often the condition that caused the DTC to be set occurs. This may assist in diagnosing the condition.
TEST DESCRIPTION
Numbers(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the Diagnostic Table.
2. Normally, ignition feed voltage should be present on the control circuit with the PCM disconnected and the ignition turned ON.
3. Checks for a shorted component or a short to B+ on the control circuit. Either condition would result in a measured current of over 500 milliamps. Also checks for a component that is going open while being operated, resulting in a measured current of 0 milliamps.
4. Checks for a short to voltage on the control circuit.
15. This vehicle is equipped with a PCM which utilizes an Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM). When the PCM is being replaced, the new PCM must be programmed.
