DTC DESCRIPTOR

DTC B1420
Device Voltage

CIRCUIT/SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The driver door module (DDM) and passenger door module (PDM) check for proper system voltage of 9-16 volts at least once every 20 milliseconds. When the DDM or PDM detects that system voltage is either below 9 volts or above 16 volts, a DTC is set and DTC updates are disabled.

CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING THE DTC
Battery voltage must be between 9-16 volts.

CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
The DDM or PDM detects system voltage is below 9 volts or above 16 volts.

ACTIONS TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
DTC updates are disabled.

CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE DTC
- The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists.
- You issue a scan tool CLEAR DTCs command.

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
- DTC B1420 may set during vehicle startup if the vehicle system voltage falls bellow 9 volts.
- The Starting/Charging system may be the cause of an intermittent malfunction.

CIRCUIT/SYSTEM TESTING
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the appropriate door control module harness connector.
2. Test for less than 1.0 ohm of resistance between the ground circuit terminal 10 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
3. If all circuits test normal, replace the appropriate door control module.

REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure. Verification Tests
