Fault Code 386 Sensor Supply Voltage Number 1 Circuit - Voltage Above Normal or Shorted To High Source
Page 1 of 11
Circuit Description
The sensor supply voltage number 1 of the electronic control module (ECM) provides (+) 5
VDC supply for the barometric pressure sensor on the engine harness. This +5 VDC supply
also powers three optional OEM devices. The three devices are digital vehicle speed
sensor, remote accelerator position sensor, and OEM pressure sensor.
Component Location
The sensor supply number 1 is located in the ECM. The supply voltage is spliced off in the
engine and OEM harness to each sensor it supports.
Shop Talk
High voltage on the sensor supply line can be caused by an individual sensor supply wire in
the harness shorted to battery voltage or a failed ECM power supply.

To reduce the possibility of damaging a new ECM, all other active fault
codes must be investigated prior to replacing the ECM.
CAUTION
To reduce the possibility of pin and harness damage, use the following
test leads when taking a measurement:
Part Number 3164133 - male Deutsch test lead
Part Number 3822758 - male Deutsch/AMP/Metri-Pack test lead.
