Cell 51: DTC B3137, B3138, B3147, B3148 -- Power Door Locks
in Body Control System Schematics.
Circuit Description
The body control module (BCM) monitors and supplies an output voltage on CKT 195 in order to lock the doors. When the BCM receives a lock signal from the remote control door lock receiver to lock the doors, the BCM supplies voltage to the lock relay and locks the door. If CKT 195 is shorted to battery for more than 184 seconds, the BCM will set DTC B3138 as a current code.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | CKT 195 is shorted to battery voltage for more than 184 seconds. |
| • | The system voltage is between 9.0-16.0 volts. |
| • | The above conditions exist for 184 seconds. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The power door lock system will not function with the remote control door lock system or either of the power door lock switches.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
| • | A current DTC will clear immediately after the short to battery voltage is corrected. |
| • | A history DTC will clear after 100 consecutive ignition cycles without a fault present. |
| • | History and current DTCs can be cleared using a scan tool. |
Diagnostic Aids
| • | Always diagnose the first DTC that is listed on the scan tool. |
| • | Verify that the scan tool displays DTC B3138 as a current code before you perform diagnostics. |
| • | Inspect for loose or poor connections at all of the of the related components. |
| • | Refer to Wiring Systems for intermittent or poor connections. |
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
-
This step determines if the LF door lock switch is shorted to battery voltage.
-
This step determines if the RF door lock switch is shorted to battery voltage.
-
This step determines if one of the following conditions exists:
| • | CKT 195 is shorted to battery voltage. |
| • | The BCM is defective. |
