The body control module (BCM) monitors the signal circuit of the Tow/Haul switch in order to determine when the switch is activated, requesting a trailering or hauling shift pattern.
• | The battery voltage must be between 9.0 and 16.0 volts. |
• | Ignition switch in the RUN position. |
• | The Tow/Haul switch must be activated. |
When the signal circuit of the Tow/Haul switch is shorted to ground for approximately 3 minutes.
When the Tow/Haul switch is activated (stuck) for approximately 3 minutes.
Tow/Haul mode will be inoperative.
• | This DTC will clear on current status after the condition for setting the fault is corrected. |
• | A history DTC will clear after 100 consecutive ignition cycles without a fault present. |
• | History and current DTC(s) may be cleared by using a scan tool. |
• | Perform a visual inspection for loose or poor connections at all related components. |
• | Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems. |
The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the diagnostic table.
The normal state is the state of the input before activation
The normal state is the state of the input before activation
After replacement of the BCM you must calibrate the new module for proper operation.

Does the Transmission Preference parameter change state? | ON/OFF | Go to Diagnostic Aids | Go to Step 4 |
Does the scan tool display OFF? | ON/OFF | Go to Step 7 | Go to Step 5 | |
5 | Test the signal circuit of the Tow/Haul switch for a short to ground. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | -- | Go to Step 10 | Go to Step 6 |
6 | Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the BCM. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | -- | Go to Step 10 | Go to Step 8 |
7 | Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the Tow/Haul switch. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | -- | Go to Step 10 | Go to Step 9 |
Did you complete the replacement? | -- | Go to Step 10 | -- | |
9 | Replace the Tow/Haul switch. Refer to Shift Lever Replacement - On Vehicle in Steering Wheel and Column - Tilt. Did you complete the replacement? | -- | Go to Step 10 | -- |
