DTC Descriptor
DTC P1631
- Theft Deterrent Fuel Enable Signal Not Correct
Circuit/System Description
The remote control door lock receiver (RCDLR) sends the prerelease password to the engine control module (ECM) via the serial data circuit. The
ECM then sends a challenge to the RCDLR. Both the ECM and RCDLR perform a calculation on this challenge. If the calculated response from the
RCDLR equals the calculation performed by the ECM, the ECM will allow vehicle starting.
Conditions for Running the DTC
Ignition is in the ACCESSORY or RUN position.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The ECM receives an incorrect prerelease password from the RCDLR.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
* The security indicator will illuminate.
* Vehicle starting will be disabled.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
* A current DTC P1631 will be when a correct fuel enable password is received.
* A history DTC will be cleared after 40 malfunction-free ignition cycles or when a scan tool is used to clear DTCs.
