DTC P0685: ECM/Pcm Power Relay Control Circuit/Open: Notes

DTC detecting condition:

Detected when two consecutive driving cycles with fault occur.

CAUTION:

After servicing or replacing faulty parts, perform Clear Memory Mode Ref. to OPERATION , Clear Memory Mode, and Inspection Mode Ref. to PROCEDURE , Inspection Mode.
Use the check board when measuring the ECM terminal voltage and resistance.

Step	Check	Yes	No
1 CHECK ECM CONNECTOR. Check the connecting condition of ECM connector.	Is the ECM connector correctly connected?	Go to step 2	Connect the ECM connector correctly.
2 CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND MAIN RELAY CONNECTOR. Turn the ignition switch to OFF. Measure the voltage between ECM connector and engine ground. Connector & terminal (B134) No. 1 (+) - Engine ground (-): (B134) No. 14 (+) - Engine ground (-):	Is the voltage 10 V or more?	Repair the harness and connector. NOTE: In this case, repair the following item: Short circuit to power supply in harness between ECM connector and main relay connector Defective main relay	Go to step 3
3 CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND MAIN RELAY CONNECTOR. Turn the ignition switch to OFF. Remove the main relay. Disconnect the connector from ECM. Measure the resistance between the ECM connector and engine ground. Connector & terminal (B134) No. 60 - Engine ground:	Is the resistance 1 MΩ or more?	Repair the poor contact of ECM connector.	Repair the short circuit to ground in harness between ECM connector and main relay connector.
