Circuit Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Buick Regal. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Output driver modules (ODM) are chips that are inside the powertrain control module (PCM). ODMs provide grounded outputs that control devices. Each output has an internal feedback circuit that connects to the PCM microprocessor. ODM 3 determines if the voltage or the current may cause damage to the PCM. The PCM monitors voltage through the ignition 1 input. Any incorrect current that is on a circuit to the ODM will cause the ODM to report this diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
