There are 2 ignition 1 voltage circuits supplied to the engine control module (ECM). The first ignition 1 voltage circuit is provided by the powertrain relay, which is PWR/TRN relay 33, through a fuse. This ignition 1 voltage circuit supplies power to all the internal ECM circuits associated with the throttle actuator control (TAC) operation. The run/crank relay provides the second ignition 1 voltage circuit to the ECM, through a fuse. This ignition 1 voltage provides power to other internal ECM circuits, except those associated with TAC operation. The ECM continuously monitors the voltage level difference between the 2 circuits.

The ignition 1 voltage of the Run/Crank relay is more than 2 volts different than the ignition 1 voltage of the powertrain relay for more than 2 seconds.

DTC P1682 is a Type A DTC.

1. If DTCs P0685, P0690, or B1380 are set, diagnose those DTCs first.
2. Ignition ON, engine OFF, observe the ignition 1 voltage signal, and the EC ignition relay feedback signal parameters, on the scan tool. Both parameter values should display no more than 2 volts difference, between the 2 parameters.
3. Ignition OFF, observe the ignition 1 voltage signal parameter, on the scan tool. The parameter value should be 0 volts, before the ECM powers down.

Important: You must perform the Circuit/System Verification before proceeding with Circuit/System Testing.

Testing the Ignition 1 Signal Circuit

Important: A resistance of 5 ohms or greater in the circuit will cause the DTC to set.

1. Ignition ON, verify that B+ is available to both test points of the fuse from the ign. relay, which is PWR/TRN relay 33, to the ECM.

⇒	If B+ is only available on one test point of the fuse, test the ignition 1 voltage circuit from the fuse to the ECM for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.

⇒	If B+ is not available on either test point of the fuse, replace the underhood fuse block.

2. Ignition OFF, disconnect the ECM X1 connector.
3. Ignition ON, verify that B+ is available at X1-19.

⇒	If B+ is not available, test the ignition 1 voltage circuit for an open/high resistance condition. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.

4. If all circuits test normal, replace the ECM.

Testing the EC Ignition Relay Feedback Circuit

Important: A resistance of 5 ohms or greater in the circuit will cause the DTC to set.

1. Ignition OFF, remove the powertrain relay, which is PWR/TRN relay 33, from the underhood fuse block.
2. Ignition ON, connect a 3A fused jumper wire from B+ to the powertrain ignition 1 voltage circuit terminal 30. Verify that the EC Ignition Relay Feedback parameter displays B+ on the scan tool.

⇒	If the scan tool parameter is less than the specified value, test the ignition 1 voltage circuit for an open/high resistance or short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
