DTC Descriptor
DTC B1369: Device Ignition 0 (UNLOCK, ON, and START) Circuit OpenDiagnostic Fault Information
Circuit | Short to Ground | Open/High Resistance | Short to Voltage | Signal Performance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Ignition 0 Voltage Circuit | B1369 | B1369 | -- | -- |
Circuit Description
The instrument panel cluster (IPC) monitors the ignition 0 voltage circuit when the ignition switch is in either the ON position or the OFF position. If the IPC senses that the ignition 0 voltage circuit is low for greater than 3 seconds, DTC B1369 is set.
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | The ignition switch is ON. |
| • | At least 3 seconds has elapsed since the ignition switch was cycled ON. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The ignition 0 input is low during power up or while in RUN for greater than 3 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The IPC stores DTC B1369 in memory. |
| • | The IPC will store conditions which were present when the DTC set as Failure Records data only. The information will not be stored as Freeze Frame data. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | A current DTC B1369 will clear when the malfunction is no longer present and the ignition switch is cycled. |
| • | A history DTC B1369 will be cleared after 100 ignition cycles with no current codes active during the 100 ignition cycles. |
| • | The IPC receives the clear code command from the scan tool. |

Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition ON, engine OFF, verify the scan tool Ignition 0 parameter displays On.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the IPC.
| ⇒ | If not On, test the ignition 0 voltage circuit for an open/high resistance or a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the IPC. |
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
