Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 GMC Sierra and 2004 Chevrolet Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The control module turns OFF the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes.
A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other emission related diagnostic.
Clear the MIL and the DTC with a scan tool.

DTC P0651

Step	Action	Values	Yes	No
Schematic Reference: Engine Controls Schematics Connector End View Reference: Engine Controls Connector End Views or Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Connector End Views
1	Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check-Engine Controls?	-	Go to Step 2	Go to Diagnostic System Check - Engine Controls
2	Observe the Freeze Frame/Failure Records for this DTC. Turn OFF the ignition for 30 seconds. Start the engine. 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. Does the DTC fail this ignition cycle?	-	Go to Step 3	Go to Intermittent Conditions
3	Is this vehicle equipped with a fuel tank pressure sensor?	-	Go to Step 4	Go to Step 5
4	Turn OFF the ignition. Disconnect the air conditioning (A/C) pressure sensor. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. Measure the voltage from the 5-volt reference circuit of the A/C pressure sensor to a good ground with a DMM. Refer to Circuit Testing in Wiring Systems. Is the voltage within the specified range?	4.8-5.2 V	Go to Step 6	Go to Step 7
5	Turn OFF the ignition. Disconnect the air conditioning (A/C) pressure sensor. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. Measure the voltage from the 5-volt reference circuit of the A/C pressure sensor to a good ground with a DMM. Refer to Circuit Testing in Wiring Systems. Is the voltage within the specified range?	4.8-5.2 V	Go to Step 15	Go to Step 8
6	Connect the A/C pressure sensor. Disconnect the fuel tank pressure (FTP) sensor. Measure the voltage from the 5-volt reference circuit of the FTP sensor to a good ground with a DMM. Refer to Circuit Testing in Wiring Systems. Is the voltage within the specified range?	4.8-5.2 V	Go to Intermittent Conditions	Go to Step 15
7	Is the voltage measured in the previous step more than the specified value?	5.2 V	Go to Step 11	Go to Step 9
8	Is the voltage measured in the previous step more than the specified value?	5.2 V	Go to Step 12	Go to Step 10
9	Monitor the DMM while disconnecting the FTP sensor. Does the voltage return to within the specified range when the FTP is disconnected?	4.8-5.2 V	Go to Step 14	Go to Step 10
10	Turn OFF the ignition. Disconnect the powertrain control module (PCM). Test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to ground or any sensor low reference circuit. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition?	-	Go to Step 17	Go to Step 16
11	Monitor the DMM while disconnecting the FTP sensor. Does the voltage return to within the specified range when the FTP sensor is disconnected?	-	Go to Step 13	Go to Step 12
12	Test all 5-volt reference circuits for a short to voltage. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition?	-	Go to Step 17	Go to Step 16
13	Test the FTP sensor signal circuit for a short to voltage. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition?	-	Go to Step 17	Go to Step 16
14	Replace the FTP sensor. Refer to Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor Replacement . Did you complete the replacement?	-	Go to Step 17	-
15	Replace the A/C pressure sensor. Refer to Air Conditioning (A/C) Refrigerant Pressure Sensor Replacement in Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning. Did you complete the replacement?	-	Go to Step 17	-
16	Replace the PCM. Refer to Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Replacement . Did you complete the replacement?	-	Go to Step 17	-
17	Clear the DTCs with a scan tool. Turn OFF the ignition for 30 seconds. Start the engine. 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. Did the DTC fail this ignition?	-	Go to Step 2	Go to Step 18
18	Observe the Capture Info with a scan tool. Are there any DTCs that have not been diagnosed?	-	Go to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List	System OK
