Symptom:
P-1682 CHARGING SYSTEM VOLTAGE TOO LOW
When Monitored and Set Condition:
P-1682 CHARGING SYSTEM VOLTAGE TOO LOW
When Monitored: With no other charging system codes set. With the ignition on and the
engine running above 1500 RPM.
Set Condition: The battery sensed voltage is 1 volt below the charging system goal for 25
seconds. The PCM senses the battery voltage, turns off the field driver and senses the
battery voltage again. If the voltages are the same, the code is set.
POSSIBLE CAUSES
