Circuit Description

Battery positive voltage (B+) is supplied to the PASS-Key® III Theft Deterrent (VTD) Module at connector terminal A, CKT 440 (ORN). The VTD module monitors this voltage to determine if it is within a valid operating range.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The battery positive voltage (B+) level falls below 9 volts for approximately 1.2 seconds or more.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
    • Stores a DTC B1327 in the VTD module memory.
    • The VTD module will not respond to any manual or memory inputs when the voltage is less than 9 volts
    • No driver warning message will be displayed for this DTC.
    • No other VTD module DTCs will not set while DTC B1327 is current.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC
    • The battery positive voltage (B+) level rises above 9.5 volts for approximately 1.2 seconds.
    • Use the On-Boards clearing DTCs feature.
    • Use a scan tool.

Diagnostic Aids

The VTD module will not check for low battery positive voltage (B+) during and for 2 seconds following the engine CRANK mode, this insures that DTC B1327 will not erroneously set.

Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table:

  1. Perform the Theft Deterrent System Diagnostic System Check before continuing with the diagnosis of this DTC.
