Circuit Description

The BCM's ground circuits provide ground for the door locks.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The BCM monitors Ground 2 at all times.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The BCM detects that the ground 2 circuit is not at ground potential for longer than 0.3 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The BCM stores DTC B1354 in memory.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

    • A current DTC B1354 will clear if the BCM no longer detects the fault.
    • A history DTC B1354 will clear after 100 consecutive ignition cycles if the condition for the malfunction is no longer present.
    • Use a scan tool in order to clear the DTC.

Diagnostic Aids

    • If the DTC B1354 is a history DTC, the fault may be intermittent. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems.
    • The following conditions may cause an intermittent malfunction to occur:
       - An intermittent open in the ground 2 circuit
       - The BCM is intermittently open internally.
