The signal line lengths of the downstream HO2Ss are compared against
the signal line lengths of the upstream HO2Ss. Under normal closed loop
fuel conditions, high efficiency catalysts have oxygen storage which
reduces the frequency and amplitude of the downstream HO2S as

(PCM). The test fails when the PCM grounds the A/CCR circuit,
excessive current draw is detected on the A/CCR circuit; or, with the
Description:
A/CCR circuit not grounded by the PCM, voltage is not detected on the
A/CCR circuit (the PCM expects to detect VPWR voltage coming
through the A/CCR relay coil to the A/CCR circuit).
 Open or short A/CCR circuit
Possible Causes:  Damaged A/CCR relay

 Open VPWR circuit to the A/CCR relay

The A/CCR control circuit can be monitored using the WACF and WAC
PID.
When the WACF PID reads YES, a concern is present.
An open circuit or short to ground can only be detected when the PCM is
not grounding the circuit.
A short to voltage can only be detected when the PCM is grounding the

During the key on engine off (KOEO) and key on engine running
(KOER) self-test, the WAC circuit is cycled on and off. Verify the A/C

ACCS the PID to verify. If the vehicle is not equipped with A/C, ignore
DTC P0645.

The OBD monitors are carried out during the OBD drive cycle. This
Description: DTC is stored in continuous memory if any of the OBD monitors do not
carry out their full diagnostic check.
 The vehicle is new from the factory
 Battery or powertrain control module (PCM) had recently been
disconnected
Possible Causes:  An OBD monitor concern occurred before completion of an OBD
drive cycle
 PCM DTCs have recently been cleared with a scan tool

 Power take off (PTO) circuit concern or PTO is on during testing.

This DTC, inspection/maintenance (I/M) readiness function is part of the


PCM strategy. A battery disconnection or clearing codes using a scan
tool results in the various I/M readiness bits being set to a not-ready
condition. As each non-continuous OBD monitor completes a full
diagnostic check, the I/M readiness bit associated with that monitor is set
to a ready condition. This may take 1 or 2 drive cycles based on whether
concerns are detected or not. The readiness bits for comprehensive
component monitoring (CCM), misfire and fuel system monitoring are
Diagnostic Aids:
considered complete once all the non-continuous monitors have been
evaluated. Because the EVAP system monitor requires certain ambient
conditions to run, special logic can bypass the monitor for the purpose of
clearing the EVAP and I/M readiness bit, due to continued presence of
these extreme conditions. DTC P1000 does not need to be cleared from
the PCM except to pass an I/M test. The malfunction indicator lamp

flow falls above or below the required calibration.
 For electric EGR (EEGR) system, see possible causes for DTC
P0400.

Diagnostic Aids: (EGRMDSD) while commanding the EEGR on. If EGR is introduced into
the engine at idle, the RPM drops or stalls out. For vacuum systems see

Description:
imply any system concerns, only that the mode has occurred, and that
mode may be causing a long start time.
Possible Causes: Ice or oil in the intake air system could be the result of a positive
crankcase ventilation (PCV) system concern
Do not install a new electronic throttle body (ETB) for this DTC. Check
the PCV system for evidence of water or ice. Disconnect the intake air
fresh air plenum from the throttle body. Check for water or oily residue at
the PCV fresh air port. Disconnect the tube at the valve cover and check
the tube for ice obstruction/ice. Start the engine and, to check the PCV
system, place a piece of cardboard on the crankcase vent in the rocker
cover. If the cardboard is held on the crankcase vent and fumes are not
exiting, reconnect the tube to the valve cover and the intake air port. If
Diagnostic Aids:
the test passes, the PCV system is OK. If the cardboard is not held in
place, turn off the engine and check the PCV valve side of the system for
ice or obstruction and repair as necessary. If no obstruction is found
there, isolate and repair any obstruction in the intake manifold
connection. If no obstruction is found there, make sure the PCV coolant
heater is functional and repair as necessary. If no concern is present,
make sure the PCV valve is allowing the proper vacuum flow and repair
as necessary.
