DTC Advanced Diagnostics: P0651 (1.5L Engine, PGM-FI System)
DTC P0651: Sensor Reference Voltage B Malfunction
General Description
The powertrain control module (PCM) is equipped with a voltage monitor (5 V power source) to supply a stable 5 V to each sensor as reference voltage. The correct voltage for the sensors are loaded in the CPU of the PCM (A/D input) and when the sensor power voltage is a set value (high or low) for a certain time, the PCM detects a malfunction and stores a DTC.

Diagnosis Details
Conditions for setting the DTC
When a malfunction is detected, the MIL comes on and a Pending DTC, a Confirmed DTC, the freeze data, and the on-board snapshot are stored in the PCM memory.
Conditions for clearing the DTC
The MIL is cleared if the malfunction does not return in three consecutive trips in which the diagnostic runs. The MIL, the Pending DTC, the Confirmed DTC, the freeze data, and the on-board snapshot can be cleared with the scan tool clear command.
