Circuit Description
Battery positive voltage (B+) is supplied to the SDM when the ignition switch is in the ON position via CKT 1139. The SDM monitors this voltage to determine if it is within a valid operating range.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The battery positive voltage (B+) level rises above 15.5 volts for more than approximately 1.2 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | Stores a DTC B1328 in the SDM memory. |
| • | The SDM will not respond to any manual or memory inputs when the voltage is greater than 16 volts. |
| • | No driver warning message will be displayed for this DTC. |
| • | The SDM switch failure and position sensor failure DTCs will not set while DTC B1328 is current. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | The ignition positive voltage (B+) level falls below 15 volts for approximately 1.2 seconds. |
| • | Use the On-Boards clearing DTCs feature. |
| • | Use a scan tool. |
Diagnostic Aids
This DTC may set when the vehicle is placed on a battery charger, on fast charge, for a long period of time.
