Circuit Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 GMC Sierra, 2004 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2004 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2004 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The engine control module (ECM) provides 5-volts to the following sensors:
- The boost sensor
- The accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor 2
- The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) vacuum sensor, if applicable.
- The barometric pressure (BARO) sensor.
- The air conditioning (A/C) refrigerant pressure sensor.
These 5-volt reference circuits are independent of each other outside the ECM, but are bussed together inside the ECM. Therefore, a circuit condition on one sensor 5-volt reference circuit may affect the other 5-volt reference circuits. The ECM monitors the voltage on the 5-volt reference circuit. If the ECM detects that the voltage is out of tolerance, DTC P0651 sets.
