Trouble code #0688 came up while I had a predator 91octane tune installed. This was causing the vehicle to stall out at around 100mph at full throttle. Once the tune was removed, the trouble code also disappeared. anyone???:confused::confused:

P0688-AUTO SHUTDOWN RELAY SENSE CIRCUIT LOW







For a complete wiring diagram Refer to Section 8W.



When Monitored:
With ignition key on. Battery voltage greater than 10 volts.

Set Condition:
No voltage sensed at the PCM when the ASD relay is energized. One Trip Fault. Three good trips to turn off the MIL.


Possible Causes

(A924) FUSED B+ CIRCUITS

(A142) ASD RELAY OUTPUT CIRCUIT OPEN

ASD RELAY

PCM



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).




Diagnostic Test
1. VERIFY ASD DTC
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE: Diagnose P0685 - Auto Shutdown Relay Control Circuit first if it set along with this DTC.


With a scan tool, erase the DTC.
Attempt to start the engine. If the engine will not start, crank the engine for at least 15 seconds. It may be necessary to repeat several times.

Does the DTC reset?

Yes

Go To 2


No

Refer to the INTERMITTENT CONDITION Diagnostic Procedure.
Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)

2. ENGINE OPERATION
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Attempt to start the engine.

Does the engine start?

Yes

Go To 3


No

Go To 4

3. (A142) ASD RELAY OUTPUT CIRCUIT OPEN
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------





Turn the ignition off.
Remove the ASD Relay.
Disconnect the C3 PCM harness connector.

CAUTION: Do not probe the PCM harness connectors. Probing the PCM harness connectors will damage the PCM terminals resulting in poor terminal to pin connection. Install Miller Special Tool #8815 to perform diagnosis.


Measure the resistance of the (A142) ASD Relay Output circuit from the Relay connection to the appropriate terminals of special tool #8815.

Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

Yes

Go To 7


No

Repair the open in the (A142) ASD Relay Output circuits.
Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)

4. ASD RELAY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Turn the ignition off.
Install a substitute relay in place of the ASD Relay.
Ignition on, engine not running.
With a scan tool, erase DTCs.
Attempt to start the engine.
With a scan tool, select View DTCs.

Does the DTC reset?

Yes

Go To 5


No

Replace the ASD Relay.
Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)

5. (A924) FUSED B+ CIRCUITS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------





Turn the ignition off.
Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, probe the (A924) Fused B+ circuits at the Relay connection.

Does the test light illuminate brightly?

Yes

Go To 6


No

Repair the open or short to ground in the (A924) Fused B+ circuits. Inspect the related fuse and repair as necessary.
Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)

6. (A142) ASD RELAY OUTPUT CIRCUIT OPEN
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------





Disconnect the C3 PCM harness connector.

CAUTION: Do not probe the PCM harness connectors. Probing the PCM harness connectors will damage the PCM terminals resulting in poor terminal to pin connection. Install Miller Special Tool #8815 to perform diagnosis.


Measure the resistance of the (A142) ASD Relay Output circuit from the Relay connection to the appropriate terminals of special tool #8815.

Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

Yes

Go To 7


No

Repair the open in the (A142) ASD Relay Output circuit.
Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)

7. PCM
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE: Before continuing, check the PCM harness connector terminals for corrosion, damage, or terminal push out. Repair as necessary.


Using the schematics as a guide, inspect the wire harness and connectors. Pay particular attention to all Power and Ground circuits.

Were there any problems found?

Yes

Repair as necessary.
Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)


No

Replace and program the Powertrain Control Module per Service Information.
Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE
