Codes List




Getting an intermittent P1652 in the PCM (10) category. Absolutely no functional problems at all. Annoying and puzzling.
From the service manual:
The PCM controls the Powertrain Induced Chassis Pitch by grounding the control circuit via an internal switch called a driver. The primary function of the driver is to supply the ground for the controlled component. The driver has a fault line which is monitored by the PCM. When the PCM commands a component ON, the voltage of the control circuit should be low (near 0 volts). When the PCM commands the control circuit to a component OFF, the voltage potential should be high (near battery voltage). If the fault detection circuit senses a voltage other than what the system expects, the fault line status changes causing the DTC to set.
The PCM receives an ignition voltage feed from the Electronic Suspension Control module on the Powertrain Induced Chassis Pitch circuit. The PCM grounds this circuit when the vehicle accelerates rapidly or brakes hard. When the chassis pitch input circuit goes low (about 0 volts), the ESC module commands all four shock absorber solenoids to a firm position. The PCM calculates the chassis pitch information based on the engine torque and the vehicle braking force.
Conditions for Setting the DTC:
The PCM detects that the commanded state of the driver and the actual state of the control circuit do not match.
The condition must exist for a minimum of 5.0 seconds.




I can't swear to it, but every appearance of this thing would seem to roughly coincide with at least some degree of road imperfection encounter (of which we have a lot in New England, to say the least). Maybe there's a bad shock or...?

Here's a site that shows the DTCs specific to each model year:

Hope this helps.

One technical thought - I have the Z06 Motorsports wheels w/ Pilot Sports in Z06 sizes in place of ths stock wheels and tires. Each wheel/tire combo must weigh more than the original. Would this increase in unsprung weight account for the problem? It ran fine with this new setup for months, though...
