B2517




DTC B2517

Circuit Description

Stores DTC B2517 or B2518 in RCDLR memory.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC
^ The RCDLR no longer detects a voltage level greater than 8 volts in the door latch enable control circuit, and:
^ The DTC is cleared using a scan tool.

Diagnostic Aids
^ If the DTC does not reset after the code is cleared, it may be that the door latch enable control circuit is short to voltage. If the voltage circuit that the door lock enable control circuit is shorted to is fused, then the fuse for the voltage circuit would open when a door handle switch is activated and the RCDLR pulls the door lock enable control circuit low. Check related systems for an open fuse.
^ An intermittent short to voltage in a door latch control, or a door latch enable control circuit may cause an intermittent malfunction.
^ If the DTC does not reset after the code is cleared, then the problem may be intermittent. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems.

Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
3. Tests the door latch enable control circuit for a short to voltage.
4. Tests the door latch control circuit for a short to voltage.
5. Tests the body control module for a inoperative relay.
