Circuit Description

The battery voltage is supplied to the SBM at connector C1 terminal C9.

The SBM determines if the battery voltage is within a valid operating range.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

DTC B1982 sets when the SBM determines that the battery voltage is above 15.5 volts.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

    • DTC B1982 is stored in the SBM memory.
    • The SBM will not respond to any manual or memory inputs when the voltage is greater than 15.5 volts.
    • No driver warning message is displayed for this DTC.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

DTC B1982 changes to history when the SBM determines that the battery voltage is below 15.0 volts.

Diagnostic Aids

    • The DTC disables the setting of most other SBM DTCs.
    • DTC B1982 may set if the vehicle is placed on a battery charger set on FAST or BOOST charge.
