* Power Mode Mismatch ** This circuit is a pass through circuit in the BCM and will cause the B+ circuit fuse to the ignition switch to open. |
The vehicle power mode master (PMM) is the body control module (BCM). The ignition switch is a low current switch with multiple discrete ignition switch signals to the PMM for determination of the power mode. The PMM receives the ignition switch signals, and additionally a reference voltage signal from the BCM, through the ignition switch, and back to the BCM. There are redundancies within the PMM system that can allow operation of certain subsystems when there are faults in the ignition switch circuits. Other information such as serial data input from other modules and DTCs is also used to determine what power mode signals and information is transmitted by the PMM. The BCM logic uses all this information to identify the operator's desired power mode and activate specific discrete signals, and serial data messages for the operation of different subsystems as necessary. Other modules which have switched voltage inputs may operate in a default mode if the PMM serial data message does not match what the individual module can detect from its own connections.
The PMM will activate relays and other direct outputs of the PMM as needed according to the calculated power mode. Some relays controlled by the BCM are switched ignition voltage outputs that are pass through circuits within the BCM directly from the ignition switch. If these circuits short to ground, the B+ circuit fuse to the ignition switch will open.
Ignition switch is in the OFF or ACC positions.
Ignition switch is in the START position.
Ignition switch is in the RUN position.
Ignition circuit is shorted to voltage.
• | Ignition circuit is open. |
• | Ignition, accessory, or off/run/crank circuit shorted to ground. |
• | B+ circuit of the ignition switch is open or shorted to ground. |
• | IGN 1 relay coil control circuit open, including relay coil and ground. |
Accessory circuit is shorted to voltage.
• | Accessory circuit is open. |
• | Ignition, accessory, or off/run/crank circuit shorted to ground. |
• | B+ circuit of the ignition switch is open or shorted to ground. |
BCM senses an open or short to voltage on the off/run/crank circuit when both ignition accessory/run and ignition run/crank parameters are active.
BCM senses an open on the B+ circuit to the ignition switch while the engine is running. An open on the B+ circuit can be caused by a short to ground on any of the circuits listed below:
• | B+ |
• | Accessory |
• | Run/crank ignition voltage BCM terminal 19, X4 |
• | Off/run/crank |
Off/run/crank circuit is shorted to voltage.
Off/run/crank circuit is open.
• | The BCM operates in a fail-safe power mode dependent on the last valid power mode detected and the state of the engine run flag data on the serial data communications circuits. |
• | The other modules on the vehicle operate in a fail-safe power mode dependent on the last valid power mode transmitted by the BCM and the state of the engine run flag on the serial data communications circuits. |
A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present.
• | A short to ground in the ignition circuit of the run crank relay will cause an open fuse to the ignition switch. DTC B1428 should be current. |
• | The power modes and controls are determined using BCM logic. Comparing the Body Control Module Power Mode data display parameters listed in Circuit/System Verification to the scan tool values of the vehicle will determine if there is a power mode fault. |
