Diagnostic Fault Information






Circuit/System Description

The control modules on this vehicle monitor the battery voltage through the battery positive (B+) voltage circuits. This vehicle has multiple modules that will set the DTC. For more information on which modules, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle. Diagnostic Trouble Code Descriptions

Conditions for Running the DTC

* The battery voltage supplied to the control modules is in the range of 7-26 volts.
* The engine is running.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

B1325 03

The control module detects a system voltage less than 9 volts for 5 seconds.

B1325 07

The control module detects a system voltage greater than 18 volts for 5 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* The control module immediately disables all outputs when an out of range voltage condition has been detected, with the exception of serial data, which is disabled after a 3 minute delay.
* The setting of other DTCs is inhibited.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

The DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present.

Diagnostic Aids

* A high or low voltage value in multiple modules indicates a concern in the charging system.
* Overcharging with a battery charger or jump starting can cause this DTC to set.

Circuit/System Verification

1. Engine running, accessories OFF, measure and record the battery voltage at the battery terminals. The voltage should be between 12.6 and 15.0 volts.

If not within the specified range, refer to Charging System Test. Charging System Test

2. Observe the appropriate module scan tool Battery Voltage parameter. The reading should be between 12.6 and 15.0 volts.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector(s) at the appropriate module.
2. Ignition OFF, test for less than 5 ohms of resistance between the ground circuit terminals and ground.

If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.

3. Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminals and ground.

If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.

4. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the ignition circuit terminals and ground.

If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ignition circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.

5. If all circuits tests normal, replace the appropriate module.
