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 control module monitors 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 control module 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, the MIL should turn ON and OFF when commanded with a scan tool.
2. 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

1. Ignition ON, verify that the instrument panel cluster (IPC) warning indicators are illuminated.

• If the IPC warning indicators are not illuminated, test the ignition circuit for a sort to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal and the ignition circuit fuse is open, replace the IPC.

2. Ignition OFF, disconnect connector X1 at the ECM.
3. Ignition ON, verify the MIL is not illuminated.

• If the MIL is illuminated, inspect the MIL control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the IPC.

4. Ignition ON, verify that the MIL illuminates with a 3A fused jumper between the MIL control circuit, ECM terminal X1-68, and ground.

• If the MIL does not illuminate, test the MIL control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification (Verification Tests) after completing the diagnostic procedure.
