DTC Descriptor
DTC P15A1
- Fuel Economy Mode Switch Performance
Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit Description
The ECM supplies 5 V reference voltage, through the 5 V reference voltage circuit, to the S87 fuel economy mode switch. This 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 5 V 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 signal 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 button must be pressed for between
0.094-1.5 s to activate the fuel economy mode.
Conditions for Running the DTC
* The ignition key is turned to ON.
* DTC P15A1 runs 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 in an indeterminate range.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
DTC P15A1 is a Type B DTC.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
DTC P15A1 is a Type B DTC.
