Circuit | Short to Ground | Open/High Resistance | Short to Voltage | Signal Performance |
---|---|---|---|---|
B+ | C0895 00 | C0895 00 | -- | -- |
Ground | -- | C0895 00 | -- | -- |
Circuit | Short to Ground | Open | Short to Voltage |

Operating Conditions: Ignition ON, Engine OFF. Parameter Normal Value: 12.60 Volts | |||
B+ | 0.00 Volts | 0.00 Volts | 12.60 Volts |
Voltage is supplied to the power steering control module (PSCM) by the battery positive (B+) voltage circuit. The PSCM monitors the supplied voltage to determine if it is within a valid operating range. Damage to components, and incorrect data may occur if the voltage is out of range. The PSCM disables all outputs, and sets DTC C0895 if high or low battery voltage is detected.
The ignition is ON.
Battery voltage is outside the normal range of 9.0-15.5 volts.
The PSCM disables all functionality.
• | A current DTC will clear when the PSCM receives battery voltage in the normal range of 9-15.5 volts. |
• | A history DTC will clear if the condition does not return after 50 consecutive ignition cycles. |
• | A high or low voltage value in multiple modules indicates a concern in the charging system. |
• | Overcharging with a battery charger or jump starting can cause this DTC to set. |

⇒ | If not within the specified range, refer to Charging System Test . |
⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance. |
⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. |
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
