QB: Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0603/P1605/P1633

QB: Introduction See: Computers and Control Systems > Pinpoint Tests > QB: Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0603/P1605/P1633 - Introduction



QB1 CHECK BATTERY TERMINALS


Note:If KAPWR is interrupted to the PCM (that is, when a breakout box is installed or the battery is disconnected), DTC P0603/P1605 can be generated on the first power-up.

- Inspect the battery cables for loose connections, corrosion.
Are the battery terminal connections in good condition?
Yes

- KEY OFF. Battery terminals are OK. GO to QB2
.

No

- REPAIR battery terminals as necessary.



QB2 INSPECT ENGINE COMPARTMENT FOR PROPER WIRE ROUTING


- Inspect Electronic Engine Control (EC) System wiring for proximity to ignition components or wires.
Is wiring too close to ignition components or wires?
Yes

- REROUTE as necessary.

No

- Engine compartment wire routing is OK. GO to QB3
.



QB3 CHECK KEEP ALIVE POWER (KAPWR) TO PCM


Note:Refer to the PCM connector pin numbers in the beginning of this pinpoint test.

- Disconnect PCM.

- Measure voltage between KAPWR circuit at the PCM harness connector and ground.

- While observing digital multimeter, grasp the Electronic EC harness and wiggle, shake or bend a small section while working from the PCM to the dash panel.
Does the voltage reading indicate less than 10.5 volts?
Yes

- ISOLATE and REPAIR open circuit.

No

- No open in KAPWR harness circuit detected. GO to QB4
.



QB4 CHECK FOR REPEAT OF DTC P0603/P1605/P1633


- Reconnect PCM.

- Start engine and allow it to reach operating temperature.

- Run Key On Engine Off Self-Test.

- Retrieve Continuous Memory DTCs.
Is DTC P0603, P1605 or P1633 present?
Yes

- REPLACE the PCM.

No

- REPAIR other DTCs as necessary. If none, testing is complete.

Let me know if this helps.

Sounds like bad battery cables to me. Is the cable insulation melted at the terminals? If so, new battery cables are needed.
