Circuit Description

The body control module (BCM) monitors the load control circuit for opens, shorts to ground, and shorts to voltage.

The circuit starts at the BCM and travels to the instrument panel (I/P) fuse panel where the circuit splits to supply power for the heated seat switch and HVAC control head for the rear defog relay driver.

DTC Descriptors

This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTCs:

    • DTC B1507 High Power Control Circuit Low
    • DTC B1508 High Power Control Circuit High

Conditions for Running the DTC
    • This DTC shall run only if the Voltage to the BCM is between 9.0-16.0 volts.
    • The ignition must be in the ON position.
    • This DTC shall not set during BCM programing and configuration changes.
    • This DTC shall not set if any communication codes are set.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The BCM sets a DTC and disables the following DTCs:

    • DTC U1096
    • DTC U1255
    • DTC  U1300
