Conditions for Running the DTC

    • The system voltage is between 9-16 volts.
    • The DTC can only set when the output is actively being requested by the module.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The DTC will set only when the module requests the output and there is a short to ground.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The module output driver will be shut down and not supply voltage to the circuit.

  3. Ignition ON, transmission in the PARK position. Verify the test lamp does not illuminate.
  4. If the test lamp illuminates, test for a short to ground on the park enable signal circuit. If the circuit tests normal and the DTC is current, replace the BCM.
  5. If the circuit tests normal and the DTC is current, test or replace the SEO relay.
