Circuit Description
The body control module (BCM) provides an output to the driver switch assembly through the door unlock control circuit for controlling automatic door unlock, anti-lockout, and keyless entry unlock functions.
DTC Descriptors
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTCs:
| • | DTC B3142 Unlock Switch Circuit Low |
| • | DTC B3143 Unlock Switch Circuit High |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | The BCM detects a short to ground on the door unlock control circuit for greater than 60 seconds. |
| • | The BCM detects a short to battery on the door unlock control circuit for greater than 1 second. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The BCM stores DTC B3142 or B3143 in memory. |
| • | The BCM will disable the output and all operations of the output until the fault no longer exists. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | The BCM no longer detects the short to ground on the door unlock control circuit for greater than 60 seconds. |
| • | The BCM no longer detects the short to battery on the door unlock control circuit for greater than 1 second. |
| • | 100 consecutive ignition cycles have been recorded without the DTC being detected. |
Diagnostic Aids
If DTC B3142 or B3143 are history DTCs, the fault may be intermittent. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections .
