Circuit Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 GMC Yukon XL, 2006 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2006 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The powertrain control module (PCM) provides 5 volts to the following sensors:

The air conditioning (A/C) pressure sensor.
The fuel tank pressure (FTP) sensor, if equipped.

These 5-volt reference circuits are independent of each other outside the PCM, but are bussed together inside the PCM. Therefore, a circuit condition on one sensor 5-volt reference circuit may affect the other sensor 5-volt reference circuits. The PCM monitors the voltage on the 5-volt reference circuit. If the PCM detects that the voltage is out of tolerance, DTC P0651 sets.
