Circuit/System Description
The control modules on this vehicle monitor the battery voltage on the battery positive (B+) voltage circuits. This vehicle has multiple modules that will set the DTC. For more information on which modules, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle .
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | The battery voltage supplied to the control module is in the range of 7-26 volts. |
| • | The ignition is ON. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
B1325 03
The control module detects that the system voltage is less than 9 volts for 5 seconds.
B1325 07
The control module detects that the system voltage is greater than 18 volts for 5 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The control module immediately disables all outputs when an out of range voltage condition has been detected, with the exception of GMLAN and the run/crank relay, which are disabled after a 3 minute delay. |
| • | The setting of other DTCs is inhibited. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
The DTC passes when the malfunction is no longer present.
Diagnostic Aids
| • | A high or low voltage value in multiple modules indicates a concern in the charging system. |
| • | Overcharging with a battery charger can cause this DTC to set. |

Circuit/System Testing
- Engine running, accessories OFF, measure and record the battery voltage at the battery terminals. The voltage should be between 12.6 and 15.0 volts.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connectors at the appropriate module.
- Ignition OFF and scan tool disconnected, open and close the driver door, and wait 1 minute. Test for less than 5 ohms between the ground circuit and ground.
- Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminals and ground.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the ignition circuit terminals and ground.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the appropriate module.
| ⇒ | If not within the specified range, refer to Charging System Test . |
| ⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance. |
| ⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. |
| ⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ignition circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. |
