Circuit Description
The body control module (BCM) monitors the battery voltage through the VBATT1 circuit.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The voltage supplied to the BCM is in the range of 7-26 volts.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | The BCM detects a system voltage below 9 volts or above 18 volts. |
| • | The above condition is present for at least 5 seconds. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The BCM immediately disables all outputs when a high voltage condition was detected, with the exception of the Run/Crank relay that is disabled after a 3 minute delay. |
| • | The setting of other DTCs is inhibited. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present. |
| • | A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold, without a repeat of the malfunction. |
