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 rises above 15.5 volts for more than approximately 1.2 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

    • Stores a DTC B1328 in the VTD module memory.
    • SECURITY indicator is illuminated.
    • The VTD module does not respond to any manual or memory inputs when the voltage is greater than 16 volts.
    • No driver warning message is displayed for this DTC.
    • No other VTD module DTCs set when DTC B1328 is set current.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

    • The battery positive voltage (B+) level falls below 15.5 volts for approximately 1.2 seconds.
    • Use the vehicle On-Boards clearing DTCs feature. Refer to OBSD Procedure.
    • Use a scan tool.

Diagnostic Aids

This DTC can set when the vehicle is connected to a battery charger, set to fast charge for a long period of time.
