Circuit Description

The DIM has an internal battery voltage sensor and a reference voltage. The DIM compares these two voltages via the two battery positive voltage circuits every 500 milliseconds.

Conditions for Running the DTC

This DTC will run only if the DIM has power and ground. This DTC will execute regardless of the source voltage.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

This code shall be set after 10 consecutive readings that the two battery positive voltages differ by 1 volt or greater.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

All writes to the EEPROM will be suspended. All loss of communication and low/high voltage DTC codes are suspended.

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.

  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Disconnect the dash integration module (DIM).
  3. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  4. Measure and record the voltage from both battery positive voltage circuits of the DIM to both ground circuits of the DIM.
  5. Compare the two recorded DIM battery positive voltage circuit voltages.

Is the voltage difference less than the specified value?
