Table 1: Device Power Moding

Circuit Description

Normal vehicle class 2 communication will not commence until the system power mode has been identified. The body control module (BCM) communicates the system power mode to all the modules connected to the class 2 serial data circuit. The BCM monitors the state of the ignition 1 voltage circuit, accessory voltage circuit and the engine run flag (ERF) in order to determine the present system power mode. The ERF is a serial data message from the engine controller.

DTC Descriptors

This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:

DTC B1372 Device Ignition 1 (Run/Crank) Circuit Low

Conditions for Running the DTC

The only requirements are voltage and ground.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The BCM has detected the ignition 1 voltage circuit is open or shorted to ground for greater than 1.2 seconds when the accessory voltage circuit is high and the engine run flag is true.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
    • There is no cluster illumination during bulb check.
    • The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) is illuminated.
    • BCM (IGN 1) fuse will open with a short to ground present.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
    • A current DTC clears and the MIL is turned OFF when the fault is no longer present.
    • A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold, without a repeat of the fault.

  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Disconnect the BCM connector C2.
  3. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  4. Connect a test lamp between the inactive ignition 1 voltage signal circuit and a ground.

Does the test lamp illuminate?
