DTC P1639: 5-Volt Reference 2 Circuit: Description
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 13 other vehicles, including the 2002 GMC Yukon XL, 2002 GMC Sierra, 2002 GMC Savana Special, 2002 GMC Savana Camper Special, and 2002 GMC Savana. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) uses the 5-volt reference 2 circuit as a sensor feed for the Fuel Tank Pressure (FTP) sensor. The PCM monitors the voltage on the 5-volt reference 2 circuit. If the voltage is out of tolerance, the PCM will set DTC P1639.
