Circuit Description

The remote control door lock receiver (RCDLR) provides a high side drive output for the ignition 1 voltage circuit. The RCDLR controls the Run/Crank relay when the backup power mode is enabled.

DTC Descriptor

This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:

DTC B1370 Device Ignition 1 (ON and START) Circuit

This vehicle has DTCs which include DTC symptoms. For more information on DTC symptoms, refer to DTC Symptom Description .

DTC Symptom

DTC Symptom Descriptor

01

Short to Battery

02

Short to Ground

04

Open Circuit

Conditions for Running the DTC
    • Voltage supplied to the module is in the normal operating voltage range of 9-16 volts.
    • Backup power mode is enabled.

Conditions for Setting the DTC
    • The RCDLR detects a short to ground in the ignition 1 voltage circuit when the output is active.
    • The RCDLR detects a short to battery or an open in the ignition 1 voltage circuit when the output is inactive.
    • Any of the condition above must be present for more than 0.375 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The RCDLR disables the output for the current ignition cycle when a short to ground is detected.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC
    • A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present.
    • A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold, without a repeat of the malfunction.
