Circuit Description
The body control module (BCM) monitors CKT 195 as an input in order to determine if the door relay circuit is shorted to battery voltage. When CKT 195 is shorted to battery voltage the BCM sets DTC B3138.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
All of the following conditions must be met:
| • | When CKT 195 is shorted to battery voltage. |
| • | The system voltage must be between 9-16 volts. |
| • | The above conditions must be met for 30 seconds. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The lock system does not function properly. |
| • | DTC B3138 stores in BCM memory. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | A current DTC clears after the next fault free ignition cycle. |
| • | A history DTC clears after 100 consecutive ignition cycles without a fault present. |
| • | Clear history and current DTCs using a Scan Tool . |
Diagnostic Aids
Using J 39200 , compare the scan tool values to the actual BCM values.
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the numbers on the diagnostic table.
-
This step determines if the door lock relay is operating properly
-
This step determines a short to battery in CKT 195 within the left IP wiring harness junction block.
-
This step determines a short to battery in CKT 195 between the left IP wiring harness junction block and the Body Control Module (BCM).
Step | Action | Value(s) | Yes | No | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
