Reduced Power Lamp (RPL) ªONº Steady
060R200073
Circuit Description
The Reduced Power lamp (RPL) should always be
illuminated and steady with the ignition ªONº and the
engine stopped. Ignition feed voltage is supplied to the
RPL bulb through the meter fuse. The powertrain control
module (PCM) orders the RPL ªONº signal for Multiplex
Control Unit. When Multiplex Control Unit is received RPL
ªONº signal that turn RPL ªONº by grounding the RPL
driver circuit.
The RPL should not remain ªONº with the engine running
and no DTC(s) set. A steady RPL with the engine running
and no DTC(s) suggests a short to ground in the RPL
driver circuit.
Diagnostic Aids
An intermittent RPL may be caused by a poor connection,
rubbed through wire insulation, or a wire broken inside the
insulation. Check for the following items:Poor connection or damaged harness ± Inspect the
PCM harness and connectors for improper mating,
broken locks, improperly formed or damaged
terminals, poor terminal to wire connection, and
damaged harness.
Test Description
Number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the
Diagnostic Chart.
2. If the RPL does not remain ªONº when the Multiplex
Control Unit is disconnected, the RPL driver wiring
is not faulty.
3. If the RPL driver circuit is OK, the instrument panel
cluster is faulty.
10. This vehicle is equipped with a PCM which utilizes
an electrically erasable programmable read only
memory (EEPROM). When the PCM is replaced,
the new PCM must be programmed. Refer to PCM
Replacement and Programming Procedures in
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and Sensors.

2. Indicator is flashing and the flash is 0.2 seconds ON
and 0.2 seconds OFF always when ignition is on
(engine cranked or not). This means that there is a
malfunction. GO TO DIAGNOSTIC CHECK.Abnormal

3. Indicator is staying ON always when Ignition is ON.
1. This means that connection between the lamp
and the indicator control unit is shorted to ground.
2. Verify if instrument panel terminal 27 of connector
I±24 is shorted to ground.
3. Verify if the indicator control unit connector B±16
terminal 20 is shorted to ground.

Class 2 data is also pulse width modulated. Each bit of
information can have one of two lengths: long or short. On
the other hand, UART data bits come in only one length
(short). The pulse width modulation of Class 2 data allows
better utilization of the data line.
The message carried on Class 2 data streams are also
prioritized. This means that if two devices try to
communicate on the data line at the same time, only the
higher priority message will continue. The device with the
lower priority message must wait.
NOTE: The Class 2 data wire is always terminal 2 of the
new 16±terminal Data Link Connector (DLC).
16 ± Terminal Data Link Connector (DLC)
OBD II standardizes Data Link Connector (DLC)
configurations. The DLC, formerly referred to as the
ALDL, will be a 16±terminal connector found on the lower
left side of the driver's side instrument panel. All
manufacturers must conform to this 16±terminal
standard.
