Myw fault code database says p1633 is KAM (keep alive memory) Voltage Too Low.

P1633 means that the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected low voltage on the keep alive memory circuit. This is the circuit that supplies constant battery voltage to the keep alive memory portion of the PCM so it can retain information regarding fuel control, idle control and transmission control adaptive strategies to name a few. If the battery is disconnected or voltage drops below 10.5 volts this code will be set. If the battery has not been disconnected then the circuit will need to be checked for opens or high resistance in the wire,shorts,blown fuse, high voltage r/f interference from ignition or charging system components, or the PCM being being faulty itself.
