Circuit Description

The ECM supplies 5 V reference voltage, through the 5 V reference voltage circuit, to the S87 fuel economy mode switch. The 5 V reference

voltage causes current to flow through a series of resistors in the switch to the switch ground circuit. The ECM monitors the reference voltage

through a discrete fuel economy mode switch signal circuit. When the switch button is momentarily pressed, the switch contacts allow the 5 V

reference voltage to by-pass one of the resistors. The ECM detects the resulting voltage drop as a fuel economy mode request and sends a GMLAN

message to the transmission control module (TCM) indicating the request. When the TCM receives the request, throttle progressions and

transmission shift points are modified to optimize fuel efficiency. The instrument panel cluster (IPC) also receives the fuel economy mode request

message from the ECM and illuminates the fuel economy mode indicator lamp. The fuel economy mode switch must be pressed for between

0.094-1.5 s to activate the fuel economy mode.

Conditions for Running the DTC

* Ignition key must be turned to ON.

* DTCs P159F and P15A0 run continuously when the above condition is met.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The ECM detects that the voltage on the fuel economy mode switch signal wire is either too low or too high out of range.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

DTCs P159F and P15A0 are Type B DTCs

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

DTCs P159F and P15A0 are Type B DTCs

Circuit/System Verification

1. Ignition ON, verify the fuel economy mode indicator lamp on the instrument panel cluster is not illuminated.

2. Ignition ON, verify the fuel economy mode indicator lamp on the instrument panel cluster illuminates when the fuel economy mode switch

button is pressed.

3. Engine running, observe the scan tool DTC information. DTCs P159F and P15A0 should not set.

4. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC to verify the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the

conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.
