Hummer H2. Manual — part 1160

z

The PCM will store the conditions present when the DTC set as Fail Records data only.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

z

The history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles have occurred without a malfunction.

z

The DTC can be cleared by using the scan tool Clear DTC Information function.

Diagnostic Aids

Ignition system DTCs set with the ignition switch in the START position if the starter relay or the starter is
inoperative. When the PCM enables starter operation, the PCM also initiates the diagnostic test routines for
DTC P0335. If a condition exists which prevents the engine from cranking, the PCM will not receive signal
input from the CKP and CMP sensors, and the DTCs will set.

Reviewing the Fail Records vehicle mileage since the diagnostic test last failed may assist in diagnosing the
condition. The information may help determine how often the condition that set the DTC occurs.

Test Description

The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the diagnostic table.

2: Listen for an audible click when the Start 1 relay operates. Turn the ignition switch back and forth
from the ON to START positions. Repeat this as necessary.

3: Tests for voltage at the coil side of the Start 1 relay. The PCM IGN fuse supplies power to the coil side
of the Start 1 relay.

4: Verifies that the PCM is providing ground to the Start 1 relay.

5: Tests if ground is constantly being applied to the Start 1 relay.

DTC P0622

Circuit Description

The PCM uses the generator field duty cycle signal circuit to monitor the duty cycle of the generator. The
generator field duty cycle signal circuit connects to the high side of the field winding in the generator. A pulse
width modulated (PWM) high side driver in the voltage regulator turns the field winding ON and OFF. The
PCM uses the PWM signal input to determine the generator load on the engine. This allows the PCM to adjust
the idle speed to compensate for high electrical loads.

The PCM monitors the state of the generator field duty cycle signal circuit. When the key is in the RUN
position and the engine is OFF, the PCM should detect a duty cycle near 0 percent. However, when the engine
is running, the duty cycle should be between 5 percent and 100 percent. The PCM monitors the PWM signal
using a key ON test and a RUN test. During the tests, if the PCM detects an out of range PWM signal, DTC
P0622 will set. When the DTC sets, the PCM will send a class 2 serial data message to the IPC to illuminate the
charge indicator.
