DTC P0685: Power Sustain Relay (PSR) Primary Circuit Malfunction

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
P0685 - POWER SUSTAIN RELAY (PSR) PRIMARY CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION

Description:  Monitors the PSR circuit output from the PCM. The test fails if the PCM grounds the PSR circuit, and excessive current draw is detected on the PSR circuit or, with the PSR circuit not grounded by the PCM, voltage is not detected on the PSR circuit. The PCM expects to detect voltage coming through the PSR relay coil to the PSR circuit.
Possible Causes: 
  • Open or shorted PSR circuit.
  • Damaged PSR relay.
  • Open B+ to PSR relay.
Diagnostic Aids:  The PSR relay is used to maintain power to the PCM, TCM and TBCM after the key is turned off. This is done so an effective discharge of the energy storage components can occur. An open circuit or short to ground can only be detected when the PCM is not grounding the circuit. A short to power can only be detected when the PCM is grounding the circuit.
