DTC P0641  : Sensor Reference Voltage 1 Circuit Malfunction

NOTE: 

DTC Description Confirmed DTC Pending DTC Freeze Frame
P0641 Sensor Reference Voltage 1 Circuit Malfunction      

DTC(CVT)

  1. Problem verification

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    -2. Clear the DTC with the HDS.

    -3. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    -4. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    -5. Check for Pending or Confirmed DTCs with the HDS.

    DTC Description Confirmed DTC Pending DTC Freeze Frame
    P0641 Sensor Reference Voltage 1 Circuit Malfunction      

    Is DTC P0641 indicated?

    YES 

    The failure is duplicated. Go to step 2.

    NO 

    Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections and loose terminals between the TCM and the following parts. If the freeze data/on-board snapshot of this DTC is recorded, try to reproduce the failure under the same conditions with the freeze data/on-board snapshot.

    • CVT drive pulley speed sensor
    • CVT driven pulley pressure sensor
  2. Determine possible failure area (VCC lines, others)

    -1. Clear the DTC with the HDS.

    -2. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    -3. Disconnect the following connector.

    CVT drive pulley speed sensor 3P connector
    CVT driven pulley pressure sensor 3P connector

    -4. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    -5. Check for Pending or Confirmed DTCs with the HDS.

    DTC Description Confirmed DTC Pending DTC Freeze Frame
    P0641 Sensor Reference Voltage 1 Circuit Malfunction      

    Is DTC P0641 indicated?

    YES 

    Go to step 4.

    NO 

    Go to step 3.

  3. Shorted part check:

    Check for Pending or Confirmed DTCs with the HDS while reconnecting these parts, one at a time:

    • CVT drive pulley speed sensor
    • CVT driven pulley pressure sensor
    DTC Description Confirmed DTC Pending DTC Freeze Frame
    P0641 Sensor Reference Voltage 1 Circuit Malfunction      

    Is DTC P0641 indicated?

    YES 

    Replace the part that caused the DTC when it was reconnected.

    NO 

    Check for poor connections and loose terminals at the TCM and the following parts, then go to step 1.

    • CVT drive pulley speed sensor
    • CVT driven pulley pressure sensor
  4. Shorted wire check (VCC lines to ground)

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    -2. Jump the SCS line with the HDS, and wait more than 1 minute.

    NOTE:  This step must be done to protect the TCM from damage.

    -3. Disconnect the following connector.

    TCM 50P connector

    -4. Check for continuity between these test points and body ground individually.

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
      CVT drive pulley speed sensor 3P connector: disconnected
      CVT driven pulley pressure sensor 3P connector: disconnected
      TCM 50P connector: disconnected
    Connector Terminal
    TCM 50P connector No. 17
    No. 18

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    Repair a short to ground in the VCC wire between the TCM and each part that was disconnected in step 2.

    NO 

    Go to step 5.

  5. Shorted wire check (VCC lines to power)

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    -2. Measure the voltage between these test points and body ground individually.

    Test condition Vehicle ON mode
      CVT drive pulley speed sensor 3P connector: disconnected
      CVT driven pulley pressure sensor 3P connector: disconnected
      TCM 50P connector: disconnected
    Connector Terminal
    TCM 50P connector No. 17
    No. 18

    Is there battery voltage?

    YES 

    Repair a short to power in the VCC wire between the TCM and each part that was disconnected in step 2.

    NO 

    The VCC wires are OK. Check for any authorized service information related to the DTCs or symptoms you are troubleshooting, or replace the original TCM .
