DTC P1631
Diagnostic Instructions
DTC Descriptor
DTC P1631: Immobiliser Fuel Enable Signal Not Correct
Circuit/System Description
The body control module (BCM) sends the pre-release information to the engine control module (ECM) via the serial data circuit. The ECM then sends a challenge to the BCM. Both the ECM and BCM perform a calculation on this challenge. If the calculated response from the BCM equals the calculation performed by the ECM, the ECM will allow vehicle starting. The BCM follows this action by sending the remaining immobiliser data to the ECM. If the immobiliser data sent by the BCM matches that stored by the ECM, the ECM will allow the engine to remain running.
Conditions for Running the DTC
Vehicle is ON or in Service Mode.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The ECM receives incorrect immobiliser data from the BCM.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
• | The security indicator in the instrument cluster will illuminate. |
• | Vehicle starting will be disabled. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
• | A current DTC P1631 will be cleared when correct immobiliser data is received. |
• | A history DTC will be cleared after 40 malfunction-free ignition cycles or when a scan tool is used to clear DTCs. |

Circuit/System Verification
Note: Because of normal system communications between the BCM and ECM, any immobiliser DTCs set in the BCM must be diagnosed prior to the diagnosis immobiliser DTCs set in the ECM.
- Perform the BCM immobiliser learn using the Body Control Module IMMO Function with Existing Transponder or Remote Key in SPS. Refer to Immobiliser System Component Programming .
- Verify the BCM successfully completes the learn procedure and the engine starts.
⇒ | If the BCM does not successfully learn or the engine does not start
|
- All OK
