- Device Power 1 Circuit Checksum Error

Diagnostic Fault Information





Circuit/System Description

The following control modules monitor the system voltage through the battery positive (B+) voltage circuits:

* Instrument panel cluster (IPC)
* Passenger presence system (PPS)
* Radio

If any of the control modules listed detect that the battery voltage is out of range, it will set DTC B1325.

Conditions for Running the DTC

* The voltages supplied to the control modules are in the range of 7-26 volts.
* The ignition is ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

B1325 03

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

B1325 07

The control module detects a system voltage above 18 volts for 5 seconds

B1325 4A

The instrument panel cluster (IPC) failed the power on checksum test, either due to low voltage or corrupted memory

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 and Run/Crank relay that are disabled after a 3 minute delay.
* The setting of other DTCs is inhibited.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

The DTC passes 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 Testing

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 the battery voltage is not within the specified range, refer to Charging System Test (Charging System Test)

2. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connectors of the appropriate control module.
3. Ignition OFF and scan tool disconnected, open and close the driver door, and wait 1 minute.
4. Test for less than 5.0 ohms between the ground circuit and ground.

* Terminal 5 (IPC)
* Terminal 5 (PPS)
* Terminal 8 X1 Radio

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

5. Ignition ON, verify a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit and ground.

* Terminal 10-20 (IPC)
* Terminal 1 (PPS)
* Terminal 1 X1 Radio

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

6. If all circuits test normal, replace the appropriate control module.

Repair Instructions

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