  • Ignition voltage is greater than 5.5 V.
  • The DTC runs continuously when the above conditions are met.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

P0685

The ECM detects that the commanded state of the driver and the actual state of the control circuit do not match for greater than 2 s.

P0686

The ECM detects a short to ground on the control circuit for greater than 2 s.

P0687

The ECM detects a short to voltage on the control circuit for greater than 2 s

P0689

The ECM detects the engine controls ignition relay feedback circuit is less than 5 V.

P0690

The ECM detects the engine controls ignition relay feedback circuit is greater than 4 V for greater than 5 s.

P1682

The ECM detects that the voltage level difference is greater than 3 V between the 2 ignition voltage circuits for greater than 1 s.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

  • DTCs P0685, P0686, P0687, and P0690 are Type B DTCs.
  • DTC P0689 is a Type C DTC.
  • DTC P1682 is a Type A DTC.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

  • DTCs P0685, P0686, P0687, and P0690 are Type B DTCs.
  • DTC P0689 is a Type C DTC.
  • DTC P1682 is a Type A DTC.

Diagnostic Aids

The engine controls ignition relay may also be labeled the powertrain relay, the engine control module relay, or the main relay. The ignition main relay may also be labeled the run/crank relay, the ignition run relay, the ignition 1 relay, or the ignition relay.

Circuit/System Verification

NOTE:

  • A short to voltage on other components may cause DTC P0690 to set.

    If any other DTC is set, diagnose that DTC first.

  • If you were sent here from Engine Cranks But Does Not Run, proceed to Circuit/System Testing.
  1. Ignition ON, observe the scan tool DTC information. Verify DTC P0685, P0686, P0687, P0689, P0690, or P1682 is not set.
  • If any of the DTCs are set

Refer to Circuit/System Testing.

  • If none of the DTCs are set
  1. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.
  • If any of the DTCs are set

Refer to Circuit/System Testing.

  • If none of the DTCs are set
  1. All OK.

Circuit/System Testing

NOTE: You must perform the Circuit/System Verification before proceeding with Circuit/System Testing unless sent here from Engine Cranks But Does Not Run.

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the KR75 Engine Controls Ignition Relay.
  2. Verify a test lamp illuminates between ground and the relay circuit terminals listed below:
  • Terminal 86
  • Terminal 30
  • If the test lamp does not illuminate

Replace the front compartment fuse block.

If the test lamp illuminates

NOTE:

  • High resistance in the circuit/underhood fuse block for either the KR75 Engine Controls Ignition Relay or the KR73 Ignition Run Relay can cause DTC P1682 to set.
  • A short to voltage on any of the circuits supplied by the engine controls ignition relay can cause DTC P0690 to set.
  1. Ignition ON.
  2. Verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between the ignition voltage circuit terminal 87 and ground.
  • If the test lamp illuminates
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the K20 Engine Control Module.
  2. Ignition ON.
  3. Test for less than 1 V between ground and connector terminal 28.
  • If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage in the circuit.
  • If less than 1 V, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
  • If the test lamp does not illuminate
  1. Ignition OFF, connect a 20 A fused jumper wire between the relay switch B+ circuit terminal 30 and the relay switch ignition voltage circuit terminal 87.
  2. Ignition ON.
  3. Verify the scan tool Engine Controls Ignition Relay Feedback Signal parameter displays B+.
  • If B+ is not displayed
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the K20 Engine Control Module.

  • If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
  • If less than 2 ohms
  1. Test for infinite resistance between the relay switch ignition voltage circuit and ground.
  • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
  • If infinite resistance, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
  • If B+ is displayed

  2. Test for 70-110 ohms between terminals 85 and 86:
  • If less than 70 ohms or greater than 110 ohms

Replace the relay.

  • If between 70-110 ohms
