Circuit Description

The PCM receives three ignition inputs from the ignition switch: IGN 0, IGN 1, and CRANK Request. The PCM receives the IGN 1 input with the ignition switch in RUN and START. The PCM uses a class 2 ignition mode message, and the voltage input from two separate systems to test the IGN 1 circuit. If the PCM detects an improper IGN 1 input, DTC P1634 will set.

Conditions for Running the DTC

No Class 2 serial data circuit problem.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The PCM detects an improper IGN 1 input.

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 information only.

Conditions for Clearing the 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.
