Ground | -- | B1325 03 | -- | -- |
The following control modules monitor the system voltage through the battery positive (B+) voltage circuits:
• | Body Control Module (BCM) |
• | Inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) |
• | Instrument panel cluster (IPC) |
• | Radio |
• | The voltages supplied to the control modules are in the range of 7-26 V. |
• | The ignition is ON. |
The control module detects a system voltage less than 9 V 5 seconds.
The control module detects a system voltage greater than 18 V for 5 seconds.
The DTC passes when the malfunction is no longer present.
• | 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 the battery voltage is not within the specified range, refer to Charging System Test |
• | Terminal 61 X1 Terminal E12 X4 (BCM) |
• | Terminal 31 (SDM) |
• | Terminal 15 (IPC) |
• | Terminal 8 X2 (Radio) |
⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance. |
• | Terminals D1-D12 X3 (BCM) |
• | Terminals 1-33 (SDM) |
• | Terminals 11-13 (IPC) |
• | Terminal 1 X2 (Radio) |
⇒ | 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.
