Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Circuit Description
Output Driver Modules (ODMs) are used by PCM to turn on many of the current-driven devices that are needed to control various engine and transmission functions. Each ODM is capable of controlling up to 7 separate outputs by applying ground to the device which the PCM is commanding on. The ODMs have the capability of diagnosing each output circuit individually. DTC will set when there is an improper voltage level on the output circuit that controls the generator light.
A history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles have occurred without a malfunction. DTC will clear when battery is disconnected or cleared by scan tool.
