Circuit Description

The body control module (SBM) supplies voltage to CKT 275 when the following conditions occur:

    • The ignition switch is in RUN.
    • The transaxle is in the PARK position.

The SBM monitors the output and determines the actual voltage at terminal A6 every 0.3 seconds.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The SBM detects a short to voltage on terminal A6 for more than 0.1 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

    • DTC B0803 is stored in the SBM memory.
    • No driver warning message is displayed.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

    • The battery voltage is no longer detected by the SBM on terminal A6.
    • The history DTC clears after 50 consecutive ignition cycles if the condition for the malfunction is no longer present.

Diagnostic Aids

A short to battery positive voltage (B+) in CKT 275 or CKT 1135 may cause this DTC to set.

Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. Always perform the SBM Diagnostic System Check before attempting to diagnose a DTC B0803.

  2. This step determines if a short to battery positive voltage (B+) exists on CKT 275 or CKT 1135.

  3. This step determines if the short to voltage is located in CKT 275 or CKT 1135.
