B2453

DTC B2453 Theater Dimming 1 Shorted to B+:

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The SBM controls the courtesy lamps for theatre dimming. The outputs fade out in order to turn the lamps to the OFF position. If there is a short to voltage in CKT 156, a fault condition is present and a DTC will set.

CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
The SBM detects a short to voltage in CKT 156.

ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
^ Stores a DTC B2453 in the SBM memory
^ No driver warning message will be displayed for this DTC.

CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE DTC
^ A short to voltage is no longer detected by the SBM in CKT 156.
^ A history DTC clears after 50 consecutive ignition cycles if the condition for the fault is no longer present.
^ Using the on-board diagnostic (clearing DTCs) feature.
^ Using a scan tool.

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
The following conditions may cause an intermittent malfunction to occur:
^ An intermittent short to voltage in CKT 156
^ A short to voltage internal to the SBM

If the DTC is a history DTC, the problem may be intermittent. Perform the tests shown while wiggling the wiring and the connectors. This can often cause the malfunction to appear.
