Circuit Description

This is the hardware Ignition 1, CKT 439, input to the body control module (BCM) from the ignition switch.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

All of the following conditions must be met.

    • The Ignition 1 input is not active
    • The Ignition 3 is active for 20 seconds

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The BCM stores DTC B1374 in memory.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

    • The BCM goes to sleep. The controller reinitializes with the fault cleared.
    • All BCM history codes will clear after 100 ignition cycles (from OFF to ON) with no current codes active during the 100 ignition cycles.
    • Use the Scan Tool .

Diagnostic Aids

    • The BCM will not communicate with the Scan Tool if Ignition 1 input is not active.
    • If the DTC is a history DTC, the problem may be intermittent. Perform the tests shown while wiggling the wiring and connectors. This can often cause the malfunction to appear.

Test Description

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

  1. This step determines if CKT 439 is shorted to ground.

  2. This step determines if the BCM is internally shorted.

  3. This step determines if voltage is supplied from the battery to the fuse.
