Circuit Description

Output Driver Modules (ODM) are used by PCM to turn on current-driven devices needed to control various engine and transaxle functions. Each ODM can control up to 7 outputs, including Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) in Instrument Panel (I/P), by supplying ground to device PCM is commanding on. ODMs can diagnose each circuit individually. If ODM "A" output 1 (MIL driver circuit) detects an improper voltage level, P1641 is set.

Conditions required to set DTC are

  1. Ignition is on.
  2. An improper voltage level has been detected on MIL driver circuit.
  3. Listed condition is present longer than 30 seconds.
