ECM/PCM Power Relay Sense Circuit Range/Performance

Moderate severity

What it means

The voltage reported on the main power relay sense line for the engine controller does not match expectation. The ECU may shut down too early or stay awake too long, draining the battery.

Is it safe to drive?

Use caution

The vehicle is usually drivable for short distances, but the problem can worsen or affect emissions. Diagnose and repair as soon as practical.
