The overheated wires smell is worrying and the ECM is in that location . You probably have burnt connector pins or a damaged board. That could cause the 5 volt reference issues. You need an auto electrician.
Do you know anything about ECM five volt reference circuit's ?
DTC P0641: 5-Volt Reference 1 Circuit
The engine control module (ECM) has 3 internal 5-volt reference busses called 5-volt reference 1, 5-volt reference 2, and 5-volt reference 3. Each reference bus provides 5-volt reference circuits for more than one sensor. Therefore, a fault condition on one 5-volt reference circuit will affect the other 5-volt reference circuits connected to that reference bus. The ECM monitors the voltage on the 5-volt reference busses.
The 5-volt reference 1 bus provides 5 volts to the following sensors:
• The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
• The clutch apply sensor
• The fuel rail sensor
• The fuel tank pressure (FTP) sensor
• The intake air pressure and temperature sensor
code p 1598 is a/c pressure sensor--volts to high
code p0123 refers to throttle position(TP) sensor A/ accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor A---high input===causes wiring short to positive--TP/APP sensor---ECM
it also refers to TP sensor A APP switch A--low input====causes --wiring short to ground--Tp/APP switch---ECM
code p 0688 refers to engine control relay---short to positive===causes ---wiring short to positive--engine control relay---ECM
it also refers to ECM power relay control---circuit open===causes --wiring---ECM relay
First you have test the circuit to find out if it's shorted or an open circuit ! Do you have DVOM - digital volt ohm meter ? You can buy a cheap one for $10.00 - 15.00 at auto parts store . Then you'll need wiring diagrams so you test the right circuits . You can find free wiring diagrams at http://bbbind.com/free_tsb.html . You mite want to watch this video .https://youtu.be/efKoWifdcag
Possible causes
- Faulty Engine Control Module (ECM)
- ECM harness is open or shorted
- ECM circuit poor electrical connection
- Shorted sensor on 5 volt circuit What does this mean? When is the code detected?
The Engine Control Module (ECM) has detected the sensor 5 volt reference circuit voltage is higher or lower than expected
Possible symptoms
- Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)
P0641 Chevrolet Description
The control module has 2 internal 5-volt reference buses called "5-volt reference 1" and"5-volt reference 2". Each reference bus provided 5-volt reference circuit for more than one sensor. Therefore, a fault condition on one 5-volt reference circuit will affect the other 5-volt reference circuits connected to the reference bus. The control module monitors the voltage on the 5-volt reference buses.
Hi Ricky, I'm glad to help. Below is the possible causes for the P0344 code that you have.
Symptom:
P0344-CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR INTERMITTENT
When Monitored and Set Condition:
P0344-CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR INTERMITTENT
When Monitored: Engine running or Cranking.
Set Condition: When the failure counter reaches 20. One Trip Fault.
POSSIBLE CAUSES
GOOD TRIP EQUAL TO ZERO
WIRING HARNESS INSPECTION
(K7) 5 VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT OPEN OR SHORTED TO GROUND
TONE WHEEL/PULSE RING INSPECTION
CHECKING CKP SIGNAL WITH THE DRBIII
t LAB
CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR
(K44) CMP SIGNAL CIRCUIT OPEN
(K44) CMP SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORT TO GROUND
(K44) CMP SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO B+
(K44) CMP SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORT TO (K7) 5 VOLTS
PCM
P0652 DODGE - 5 Volt Sensor Reference 2 Circuit Low These 5-volt reference circuits are independent of each other outside
the PCM, but are bussed together inside the Engine Control Module (ECM).
Therefore a circuit condition on one sensor 5-volt reference circuit
may affect the other sensor 5-volt reference circuits. The ECM monitors
the voltage on the 5-volt reference circuit.
