DTC P1639: 5-Volt Reference 2 Circuit: Description

2004 Oldsmobile Bravada RWDSECTION Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Oldsmobile Aurora. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The PCM uses the 5-volt reference 2 circuit as a sensor feed for the following sensors:

  • The AC pressure sensor.
  • The Fuel Tank Pressure (FTP) sensor.
These 5-volt reference circuits are independent of each other outside the PCM, but are bussed together inside the PCM. Therefore a circuit condition on one sensor 5-volt reference circuit may affect the other sensor 5-volt reference circuit. The PCM monitors the voltage on the 5-volt reference circuit. If the PCM detects that the voltage is out of tolerance, DTC P1639 sets.
