Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0615

DTC Description

Note : The symptom byte may not be displayed on a scan tool.
DTC P0615 (01): Starter Relay Control Circuit (Short to Battery)
DTC P0615 (02): Starter Relay Control Circuit (Short to Ground)

Circuit/System Description

The engine control module (ECM) provides ignition voltage to the coil side of the starter relay when the ignition key is turned to START. The starter relay control circuit is equipped with a feedback circuit. The ECM can determine if the control circuit is open, shorted to ground, or shorted to a voltage by monitoring the feedback voltage.

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0621, P0622

DTC Description

Note : The symptom byte may not be displayed on a scan tool.
DTC P0621 (58): Generator L-Terminal Circuit (Incorrect Reaction After Event)
DTC P0621 (59): Generator L-Terminal Circuit (Circuit/Component Protection Time-Out)
DTC P0622 (11): Generator F-Terminal Circuit (Above Maximum Threshold)
DTC P0622 (12): Generator F-Terminal Circuit (Below Minimum Threshold)

Circuit/System Description

The engine control module (ECM) uses the generator L terminal circuit to control the load of the generator on the engine. A high side driver in the ECM applies a voltage to the voltage regulator. This signals the voltage regulator to turn the field circuit ON and OFF. When the ECM turns ON the high side driver, the voltage regulator turns ON the field circuit. When the ECM turns OFF the high side driver, the voltage regulator turns OFF the field circuit.
The ECM uses the generator F terminal circuit to monitor the duty cycle of the generator. The generator F terminal circuit connects to the high side of the field winding in the generator. A pulse width modulated (PWM) high side driver in the voltage regulator turns the field winding ON and OFF. The ECM uses the PWM signal input to determine the generator load on the engine. This allows the ECM to adjust the idle speed to compensate for high electrical loads.

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0627

DTC Description

Note : The symptom byte may not be displayed on a scan tool.
DTC P0627 (01): Fuel Pump Relay Control Circuit (Short to Battery)
DTC P0627 (02): Fuel Pump Relay Control Circuit (Short to Ground)
DTC P0627 (04): Fuel Pump Relay Control Circuit (Open Circuit)
DTC P0627 (54): Fuel Pump Relay Control Circuit (Temperature High)

Circuit/System Description

The engine control module (ECM) provides ignition voltage to the coil side of the fuel pump relay whenever the engine is cranking or running. The control module enables the fuel pump relay as long as the engine is cranking or running, and ignition system reference pulses are received. If no ignition system reference pulses are received, the control module turns OFF the fuel pump.
The fuel pump relay control circuit is equipped with a feedback circuit. The ECM can determine if the control circuit is open, shorted to ground, or shorted to a voltage by monitoring the feedback voltage.

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0645

DTC Description

Note : The symptom byte may not be displayed on a scan tool.
DTC P0645 (01): Air Conditioning (A/C) Clutch Relay Control Circuit (Short to Battery)
DTC P0645 (02): Air Conditioning (A/C) Clutch Relay Control Circuit (Short to Ground)
DTC P0645 (04): Air Conditioning (A/C) Clutch Relay Control Circuit (Open Circuit)
DTC P0645 (54): Air Conditioning (A/C) Clutch Relay Control Circuit (Temperature High)

Circuit/System Description

The engine control module (ECM) controls the voltage supply to the A/C compressor by grounding the A/C compressor relay control circuit with an internal solid state device called a driver. When the ECM is commanding an A/C compressor relay ON, the voltage of the control circuit should be low, near 0 volts. When the ECM is commanding an A/C compressor relay OFF, the voltage potential of the control circuit should be high, near battery voltage. If the ECM detects an improper circuit condition, a DTC will set.
