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.

z

No generator, CKP sensors, or CMP sensor DTCs are set.

z

The engine is less than 3000 RPM.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

z

During the ignition ON test, the PCM detects a PWM signal is out of range.

z

During the RUN test, the PCM detects a PWM signal less then 5 percent for more than 6 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

z

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

z

The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will not illuminate.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

z

The Conditions for Setting the DTC are no longer present.

z

A history DTC will clear after 40 malfunction free ignition cycles.

z

The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) receives the clear code command from the scan tool.

DTC P1637

Circuit Description

The powertrain control module (PCM) uses the generator turn on signal circuit to control the generator. A high
side driver within the PCM allows the PCM to turn the generator ON and OFF. When Generator operation is
desired, the PCM sends a 10-11 volt signal to the voltage regulator via the generator turn on signal circuit. This
causes the voltage regulator to begin controlling the generator field circuit. Once the Generator is enabled by the
