Circuit/System Verification

Note: Do not install a module which has been previously installed in another vehicle or otherwise swap modules between vehicles. Swapping modules between vehicles will cause DTC B1015 to set.

Verify that DTC B1015 is not set.

Note: When programming the VDAAW, use a Tech 2 and CANDi module. Using the MDI to program the VDAAW will result in a failure to complete the programming operation.

If the DTC is set, perform the Vehicle Direction Alert Alarm Warning Module Programming and Setup (Programming and Relearning) procedure. If the DTC resets, replace the vehicle direction alert alarm warning module.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification (Verification Tests) after completing the diagnostic procedure.
