P1585

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) uses Output Driver Modules (ODMs) to control many functions of the engine, and the transaxle. The ODMs supply the ground path for the PCM controlled device when the PCM commands the device ON. Each ODM is able to control several outputs. The PCM monitors the ODMs for circuit conditions that are incorrect for the commanded state of the ODM. If the PCM detects an improper circuit condition in the ODM that controls the Cruise Inhibit Control Circuit, DTC P1585 will set.

CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING THE DTC
^ The engine is running.
^ System voltage is between 8 and 16 volts.

CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
^ The PCM detects an improper voltage level on the output circuit that controls the Cruise Inhibit Control Circuit.
^ The condition exists for at least 10 seconds.

ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
^ The PCM will not illuminate the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL).
^ The PCM will store the conditions present when the DTC set as Fail Records data only.

CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE MIL/DTC
^ The history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles have occurred without a malfunction.
^ The DTC can be cleared by using the scan tool Clear DTC Information function.

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
To determine whether an improper voltage level exists on the output circuit, the PCM compares the voltage level to the commanded state. For example, a failure condition exists if the PCM detects a low voltage level when the device is commanded OFF, or a high voltage level when the device is commanded ON.

If the condition is intermittent, refer to Intermittent Conditions in Symptoms. Intermittent Conditions

TEST DESCRIPTION
The numbers below refer to the step numbers 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. Tests for a short to voltage on the control circuit.
