DTC DESCRIPTOR

DTC B1428
Ignition Switched Power Run/Crank Relay Circuit

DIAGNOSTIC FAULT INFORMATION




Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure. Testing and Inspection

CIRCUIT/SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The body control module (BCM) controls the R6 IGN relay through the run/crank ignition 1 voltage circuit by applying voltage to the circuit. The R6 IGN relay is energized when the ignition switch is in ON or START, or when a remote start is requested.

CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING THE DTC
- The system voltage is between 9-16 volts.
- The DTC can only set when the output is actively being requested by the module.

CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
The DTC will set only when the module requests the output and there is a short to ground in the run/crank ignition 1 voltage circuit.

ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
The module output driver will be shut down and not supply voltage to the run/crank ignition 1 voltage circuit.

CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE DTC
- The current DTC will clear when the module request for the output is removed or the malfunction is no longer present.
- A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold of 50, without a repeat of the malfunction.

CIRCUIT/SYSTEM TESTING
1. With the ignition OFF, disconnect the R6 IGN relay and connect a test lamp between the run/crank ignition 1 voltage circuit and battery positive voltage. The test lamp should not illuminate
- If the test lamp illuminates, test for a short to ground on the run/crank ignition 1 voltage circuit. If the circuit tests normal and the DTC is current, replace the BCM.
2. If the circuit tests normal and the DTC is current, test or replace the R6 IGN relay or BCM.

COMPONENT TESTING
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the R6 IGN relay.
2. Test for 70-150 ohms of resistance between terminals 85 and 86.
- If the resistance is not within the specified range, replace the relay.
3. Test for infinite resistance between the following terminals:
- 30 and 86
- 30 and 87
- 30 and 85
- 85 and 87
- If less than infinite resistance, replace the relay.
4. Install a 3-amp fused jumper wire between relay terminal 85 and 12 volts. Install a jumper wire between relay terminal 86 and ground. Measure for less than 2 ohms of resistance between terminals 30 and 87.
- If greater than 2 ohms, replace the relay.

REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
