DTC P0651

Diagnostic Instructions

    •  Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
    •  Review Strategy Based Diagnosis for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
    •  Diagnostic Procedure Instructions provides an overview of each diagnostic category.

DTC Descriptor

DTC P0651 00:  5 V Reference 2 Circuit Malfunction

Circuit/System Description

The engine control module (ECM) has three 5 V reference circuits. The ECM provides the 5 V reference to various sensors. Each reference circuit provides a 5 V reference for greater than one sensor. A short to ground or voltage on one of the 5 V reference circuits will affect all components connected to that 5 V reference circuit. The ECM monitors the voltage on the 5 V reference circuits.

Conditions for Running the DTC

    •  The ignition is ON.
    •  The DTCs run continuously when the above condition is met.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The control module detects a voltage above 5.5 V, or below 4.5 V, on any of the 5 V reference circuits for greater than 0.5 s.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

    •  DTC P0651 is a Type B DTC.
    •  The ECM commands the throttle actuator control (TAC) system to operate in a Reduced Engine Power mode.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

DTC P0651 is a Type B DTC.

Diagnostic Aids

If a shared 5 V reference circuit is shorted to ground or shorted to a voltage, other 5 V reference circuits may be affected.

P0651

The 5 V reference 2 circuit provides 5 V to the accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor 1, camshaft position sensor, turbocharger boost pressure sensor and fuel rail pressure sensor.

Circuit/System Verification

  1. Ignition ON, observe the DTC information with a scan tool. DTC P0651 should not set.
  2. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC to verify the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.

Circuit/System Testing

    Note:  Additional DTCs will set when disconnecting the components.

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at all appropriate sensors for the applicable DTC. Refer to Diagnostic Aids.
  2. Ignition ON, test for 4.6-5.4 V between the 5 V reference circuit and ground.
    3. ⇒ If the voltage is less than the specified range, test the 5 V reference circuit for a short to ground. If all circuits test normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
    ⇒ If greater than the specified range, test the 5 V reference circuit for each component associated with the 5 V reference circuit for a short to voltage. If all circuits test normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.

    Note:  A short to voltage on the signal circuit of certain components may cause this DTC to set.

  3. Observe the scan tool that DTC P0651 is not set while connecting each component associated with the 5 V reference circuit one at a time.
    4. ⇒ If the DTC sets when a component is connected, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If all circuits test normal, replace the component.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
