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 Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to turn on current driven devices that are needed to control various engine and transaxle functions. Each ODM can control up to 7 separate outputs by grounding the device that PCM is commanding on. ODMs can diagnose each output circuit individually. DTC P1641 indicates an improper voltage level has been detected on the output circuit controlling the A/C compressor control relay.
Conditions for setting this DTC:
- Ignition is on.
- Improper voltage level detected on output circuit controlling A/C control relay.
- Conditions present for at least 30 seconds.
