Object Number: 385149 Size: LF

Circuit Description

Pressing lock or unlock on either door lock switch sends a ground signal to the BCM through circuit 780 or 781 respectively. This action causes the BCM to supply voltage from circuit 1540 to either circuit 294 or 295 for 350 (+/- 35) ms, energizing the door actuators and unlocking (except driver's door) or locking the vehicle doors.

Conditions for Setting the DTC
    • The BCM detects an open in circuit 1540.
    • All conditions must be present for more than 0.3 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The BCM stores DTC B1339 in memory.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC
    • The BCM detects B+ in circuit 1540 when trying to lock or unlock the doors.
    • A history DTC will clear after 100 consecutive ignition cycles if the condition for the malfunction is no longer present.
    • Using a scan tool.

Diagnostic Aids
    • If the DTC is a history DTC, the problem may be intermittent. Try performing the tests shown while moving wiring and connectors, this can often cause the malfunction to reappear.
    • DTC P1626 will set in the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) when the ignition switch is on with the Body Control Module (BCM) disconnected. When BCM diagnostics and repair are completed, refer to OBD System Check in Engine Controls for additional information on PCM related DTCs.
