Possible causes

– A/C Pressure sensor harness is open or shorted
– MAP sensor harness is open or shorted
– EGR valve harness is open or shorted

When is the code detected?

The P1635 code is set when the reference voltage from the sensor is our of range.

Symptoms

P1635 PONTIAC Description

The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) uses a common 5.0 Volt Reference 1 circuit as a sensor feed. This circuit supplies 5 Volts to the following sensors: The Air Condition (A/C) Pressure sensor, the Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor and the Engine Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve. The PCM monitors the voltage on the 5.0 Volt Reference 1 circuit.
