Circuit Description
Circuit 356 from the body control module (BCM) controls the driver door unlock relay. When the BCM receives a driver door unlock signal, the BCM supplies battery voltage to the relay. Ground for the relay is supplied by circuit 150.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The door unlock switch is pressed (key fob).
Conditions for Setting the DTC
CKT 356 is shorted to ground for .2 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The BCM disables the driver door unlock output for the remainder of the ignition cycle.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | A current DTC B3127 will clear when the malfunction is no longer present and the ignition switch is cycled. |
| • | All BCM history codes clear after 100 ignition cycles (from OFF to ON) with no current codes active during the 100 ignition cycles. |
Diagnostic Aids
If the DTC is a history DTC, the problem may be intermittent. Perform the tests while wiggling the wiring and connectors. This may often cause the malfunction to appear.
Test Description
The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the diagnostic table.
-
Listen for an audible click when the driver door unlock relay operates. Command both the ON and OFF states. Repeat the commands as necessary.
-
Verifies that the body control module is providing voltage to the driver door unlock relay.
-
Tests for an open in the ground circuit to the driver door unlock relay.
-
Tests if voltage is constantly being applied to the driver door unlock relay.
