DTC Descriptor
DTC C0895: Device VoltageDiagnostic Fault Information
Circuit | Short to Ground | Open/High Resistance | Short to Voltage | Signal Performance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
B+ | C0895 |
C0895 | -- | -- |
Ground | -- | C0895 | -- | -- |
Circuit/System Description
Voltage is supplied to the electronic suspension control (ESC) module through the battery positive voltage circuit. The ESC module monitors the supplied voltage to determine if it is within a valid operating range.
Conditions for Running the DTC
Ignition is ON.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The DTC is set when the battery voltage is outside the normal range of 9-15.5 volts.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The electronic suspension control system (ECS) is disabled for the duration of the ignition cycle. |
| • | The TCS indicator illuminates on the IPC. |
| • | The DIC displays the Service Stability System message, if equipped. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
The DTC is saved as history when the ESC module no longer sees battery voltage outside the normal range of 9-15.5 volts. The DTC will clear if the fault does not return after 50 consecutive ignition cycles.
Diagnostic Aids
| • | DTC C0895 may set when the vehicle is placed on a battery charger, on fast charge, for a long period of time. It may also be set by an intermittent charging system malfunction. |
| • | A low voltage DTC in multiple modules indicates a concern in the charging system. |
| • | A high or low voltage value in multiple modules indicates a concern in the charging system. |

Circuit/System Verification
Engine running measure and record the voltage at the battery terminals. Verify that the battery voltage is 12.6-15.5 volts.
| ⇒ | If the battery voltage is not within the specified range, refer to Charging System Test. |
Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the ESC module.
- Ignition OFF, test for less than 5 ohms between the ground circuit terminal 2 and ground.
- Ignition ON, verify a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 1 and ground.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the ESC module.
| ⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance. |
| ⇒ | If the test lamp did not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. |
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
