The Engine control module (ECM) is installed in the passenger compartment to protect it from external impact. The ECM with a lot of chips and circuits processes the input signals according to control algorithms. Voltage regulator in the ECM controls power supply to output transistor.
The ECM will set a code if an error is detected in the ECM’s voltage regulator malfunction during. two driving cycles.
DTC NO. | Detecting Condition | Possible Cause |
P 1636 | ● P 1636 Error is recognized if the engine speed is not drop below 550 rpm within 1.5 sec. after the ignition switch off(Lower or Upper regulator limit faulty) ● Engine Condition : IG OFF ● Fuel Limit : NO ● Fuel Cut : NO ● EGR OFF : NO ● MIL : NO | ECM |
