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
The Output Driver Module (ODM) is used by the PCM to turn on many of the current-driven devices that are needed to control various engine and transaxle functions. Each ODM is capable of controlling up to 7 separate outputs by applying ground to the device which the PCM is commanding on. ODM have the capability of diagnosing each output circuit individually.
Conditions required to set DTC are, ignition is on, improper voltage level detected on output circuit controlling MIL and conditions present for at least 30 seconds.
