2010 Cadillac CTS Sedan AWD V6-3.6L Page 1595
The commanded state of the driver and the actual state of the control circuit do not match for greater than 4 s or for a cumulative of 30 s.
P0689 and P0690
The ECM detects that powertrain relay feedback voltage is less than 6 V for greater than 1 s, when the powertrain relay is commanded ON or OFF.
The condition exists for 4 s, or for a cumulative of 30 s.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
DTCs P0685, P0686, P0687, P0689, and P0690 are Type C DTCs.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
DTCs P0685, P0686, P0687, P0689, and P0690 are Type C DTCs.
Diagnostic Aids
* This test procedure requires that the vehicle battery has passed a load test and is completely charged. Refer to Battery Inspection/Test (See:
Starting and Charging/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/Battery Inspection/Test).
* An open in the relay control circuit will cause no communication with the ECM when the ignition switch is cycled OFF and then ON after
the initial failure. The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will flash rapidly and other relays can be heard turning on and off with the ignition
ON.
* When disconnecting electrical connectors or removing fuses and relays from a fuse block, always inspect the component electrical terminals
for corrosion and the mating electrical terminals for tightness.
* Use the J 35616 Connector Test Adapter Kit for any test that requires probing the underhood fuse block terminals, component wire harness
terminals, or the ECM wire harness connector terminals.

Circuit/System Verification
Note: If you were sent here from Engine Cranks But Does Not Run proceed to Circuit/System Testing.
1. Engine running, command the Engine Controls (EC) Ignition Relay ON and OFF with a scan tool while observing the following EC Ignition
Relay control circuit status parameters:
* Engine Controls Ignition Relay Control Circuit Low Voltage Test Status
* Engine Controls Ignition Relay Control Circuit Open Test Status
