DTC Descriptor

DTC P1682

- Ignition 1 Switch Circuit 2

Diagnostic Fault Information






Typical Scan Tool Data






Circuit/System Description

There are 2 ignition 1 voltage circuits supplied to the engine control module (ECM). The first ignition circuit is provided by the powertrain relay, through a fuse. This ignition 1 voltage circuit supplies power to all the internal ECM circuits associated with the throttle actuator control (TAC) operation. The second ignition 1 voltage circuit is supplied by the ignition switch through a fuse, and is used to power the remaining internal ECM circuits. If the ECM detects a voltage difference between the 2 ignition 1 voltage circuits, DTC P1682 will set.

Conditions for Running the DTC

* The ignition is ON.
* System voltage is more than 5.23 volts.
* 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 volts between the 2 ignition 1 voltage circuits, for more than 3 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

DTC P1682 is a Type B code.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

DTC P1682 is a Type B code.

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

1. If DTCs P0685, P0689, or P0690 are set, diagnose those DTCs first.

Important: On the scan tool, the powertrain relay is referred to as the EC ignition relay.

2. Ignition ON, engine OFF, observe both the Ignition 1 Voltage signal and the EC Ignition Relay Feedback signal parameters on the scan tool. Both parameter values should display no more than 3 volts difference between the 2 parameters.

If the vehicle passes the Circuit/System Verification test, operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that are captured in the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data list.

Circuit/System Testing

Important: You must perform the Circuit/System Verification before proceeding with Circuit/System Testing.

Testing the Ignition 1 Signal Circuit

Important: A resistance of 5 ohms or greater in the circuit will cause the DTC to set.

1. Ignition ON, verify that B+ is available to both test points of the inline fuse from the ignition switch to the ECM.

If B+ is only available on one test point of the fuse, test the ignition 1 voltage circuit from the fuse to the ECM for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
If B+ is not available on either test point of the fuse, test the ignition 1 voltage circuit from the ignition switch for an open/high resistance or short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ignition switch.

2. Ignition OFF, disconnect the ECM C1 connector.
3. Ignition ON, verify that B+ is available at C1-19.

If B+ is not available, test the ignition 1 voltage circuit for an open/high resistance condition. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.

Testing the EC Ignition Relay Feedback Circuit

Important: A resistance of 5 ohms or greater in the circuit will cause the DTC to set.

1. Ignition OFF, remove the powertrain relay from the underhood fuse block.
2. Ignition ON, connect a 3A fused jumper wire from B+ to the powertrain ignition 1 voltage circuit terminal. Verify that the EC Ignition Relay Feedback parameter displays B+ on the scan tool.

If the scan tool parameter is less than the specified value, test the ignition 1 voltage circuit for an open/high resistance or short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.

Repair Instructions

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

* Control Module References for ECM replacement, programming, and setup Programming and Relearning
* Relay Replacement (Attached to Wire Harness) Relay Replacement (Within an Electrical Center)
* Underhood Electrical Center or Junction Block Replacement
