P0689
DTC P0689
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The powertrain ignition 1 relay is a normally open relay. The relay armature is held in the open position by spring tension. Battery positive voltage is supplied directly to the relay coil and the armature contact at all times. The engine control module (ECM) supplies the ground path to the relay coil control circuit via an internal integrated circuit called an output driver module (ODM). When the ECM commands the powertrain ignition 1 relay ON, ignition 1 voltage is supplied to the ECM through the ETC fuse in the underhood fuse block. This ignition 1 voltage input to the ECM provides the ignition power for the electronic throttle control (ETC) circuitry, and is also used to confirm the powertrain ignition 1 relay contacts have closed. This DTC will set when the ECM detects less than 10 volts on the ETC ignition 1 voltage circuit to the ECM, after the ignition switch is turned ON. DTC P0689 indicates an open, high resistance, or short to ground on the ETC ignition 1 voltage circuit to the ECM.
The underhood fuse block features an alphanumeric grid system for the terminals of the relays and the mini fuses. Along the top forward edge of the underhood fuse block, the letters A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, J, K, L, and M are used. Along the top right edge of the underhood fuse block the numbers 1 through 20 are used. The powertrain ignition 1 relay circuits are assigned to the following cavities of the underhood fuse block.
- H13 - Battery positive voltage to the relay coil, hot at all times
- H14 - Battery positive voltage to the relay armature, hot at all times
- F14 - Relay coil control circuit, ECM controlled
- F13 - Relay load circuit, ignition 1 voltage to the following fuses and relay
- Fuel Fuse
- O2 Sensor Fuse
- ETC fuse
- Emission Fuse
- Even INJ Fuse
- Odd INJ Fuse
- A/C Comp Relay - Relay coil side
DTC DESCRIPTOR
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC P0689 Computers and Control Systems Ignition Relay Feedback Circuit Low Voltage
CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING THE DTC
- The battery voltage is between 9-16 volts.
- The ignition switch is turned ON.
- The powertrain ignition 1 relay has been commanded ON.
CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
The ECM detects less than 10 volts on the ETC ignition 1 voltage circuit for more than 5 seconds.
ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
- The control module stores the DTC information into memory when the diagnostic runs and fails.
- The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will illuminate.
- The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The control module stores this information in Failure Records.
- The driver information center, if equipped, may display a message.
CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE MIL/DTC
- A current DTC, last test failed clears when the diagnostic runs and passes.
- A history DTC clears 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if this or any other related diagnostic reports no other failures.
- Clear the DTC with a scan tool.
