DTC Advanced Diagnostics: P0641
DTC P0641:Sensor Reference Voltage 1 Circuit Malfunction

General Description

The transmission control module (TCM) is equipped with a voltage monitor (5 V power source) to supply a stable 5 V to each sensor as reference voltage. The correct voltages for the sensors are loaded in the CPU of the TCM (A/D input) and when the sensor power voltage is a set value (high or low) for a certain time, the TCM detects a malfunction and stores a DTC.

Possible Cause
NOTE: The causes shown may not be a complete list of all potential problems, and it is possible that there may be other causes.
CVT drive pulley speed sensor VCC line short to power
CVT driven pulley pressure sensor VCC line short to power
CVT drive pulley speed sensor VCC line short to ground
CVT driven pulley pressure sensor VCC line short to ground
TCM internal circuit failure

Diagnosis Details
Conditions for setting the DTC
When a malfunction is detected, the MIL comes on, the shift position indicator blinks, and a Pending DTC, a Confirmed DTC, and the freeze data are stored in the TCM memory.

Conditions for clearing the DTC
The shift position indicator comes off by turning the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode. The MIL is cleared if the malfunction does not return in three consecutive trips in which the diagnostic runs. The MIL, the Pending DTC, the Confirmed DTC, and the freeze data can be cleared with the scan tool Clear command.
