P0698-SENSOR REFERENCE VOLTAGE 3 CIRCUIT LOW





For a complete wiring diagram Refer to Section 8W



Possible Causes
INTERMITTENT DTC
CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR
ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR
5-VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND
ENGINE CONTROL MODULE


Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING)

Theory of Operation


The ECM contains 3 internal 5–Volt Sensor Supply sources. Each 5–Volt Supply source is split into parallel circuits to provide 5 volts to multiple sensors. Sensor Supply 2 provides 5 volts to the Crankshaft Position Sensor and the Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor 1.



Diagnostic Test

1. CHECK FOR ACTIVE DTC

Turn the ignition on.
With the scan tool, erase ECM DTCs.
Turn the ignition off for 10 seconds.
Turn the ignition on.
With the scan tool, View DTCs.

Is the status Active for this DTC?

Yes


No

2. CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR SHORTED TO GROUND



Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the Crankshaft Position Sensor harness connector.
Turn the ignition on.
Measure the voltage of the (K853) Crankshaft Position Sensor 5 Volt Supply circuit at the Crankshaft Position Sensor harness connector.

Is the voltage above 4.6 volts?

Yes


No

3. ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR 1 SHORTED TO GROUND



Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor harness connector.
Turn the ignition on.
Measure the voltage of the (K855) Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor 1 5 Volt Supply circuit at the Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor harness connector.

Is the voltage above 4.6 volts?

Yes


No

4. 5-VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND



Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the ECM harness connectors.
Measure the resistance between ground and the (K853) Crankshaft Position Sensor 5 Volt Supply circuit at the Crankshaft Position Sensor harness connector.
Measure the resistance between ground and the (F855) Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor 1 5 Volt Supply circuit at the Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor harness connector.

Is the resistance above 1000 ohms for each circuit?

Yes


No

5. ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM)

Turn the ignition off.
Inspect the (K853) Crankshaft Position Sensor 5 Volt Supply circuit between the Crankshaft Position Sensor harness connector and the ECM harness connector.
Inspect the (F855) Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor 1 5 Volt Supply circuit between the Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor harness connector and the ECM harness connector.
Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires.
Look for broken, bent, pushed out or corroded terminals.
Refer to any Technical Service Bulletins that may apply.

Were any problems found?

Yes


No
