The powertrain control module (PCM) monitors the internal 5 V power supply by comparing it to the A/D input power supply voltage (3.45 V). When the 5 V power supply is normal, the comparison power supply voltage (3.45 V) falls within a normal area. But if the 5 V power supply malfunctions, the comparison power supply voltage (3.45 V) exceeds the range of normal area. If the comparison power supply voltage is out of permissible range for a set time, the PCM detects a malfunction and stores a DTC.

The PCM internal comparison power supply voltage is 3.13 V or less, 3.84 V or more for at least 2.0 seconds.

Possible Cause 

NOTE:  The causes shown may not be a complete list of all potential problems, and it is possible that there may be other causes.

• PCM (internal 5 V power supply circuit) failure
• 3.45 V power supply circuit failure

Diagnosis Details 

Conditions for setting the DTC 

When a malfunction is detected, the MIL comes on and a Pending DTC, a Confirmed DTC, and the freeze data are stored in the PCM memory.

Conditions for clearing the DTC 

The MIL is cleared if the malfunction does not return in three consecutive trips in which the diagnostic runs. The MIL, the Pending DTC, the Confirmed DTC, and the freeze data can be cleared with the scan tool Clear command or by disconnecting the 12 volt battery.
