DTC Descriptor
DTC B3031 00
- Security Controller In Learn Mode Malfunction

Circuit/System Description

When learning a coded key, the body control module (BCM) is placed in learn mode. DTC B3031 will set automatically as an indicator that the system is in learn mode and not as a fault indicator. Once the coded key is learned, learn mode will be exited and the DTC cleared. If the BCM does not exit learn mode, B3031 will remain current and indicate a fault. The instrument cluster security indicator will illuminate and the driver information center will display a message.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The immobilizer system is the learn coded keys state.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

DTC B3031 will set any time the BCM enters the learn coded keys state.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The security indicator will illuminate. The driver information center will display a message.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* A current DTC B3031 will be cleared upon the successful exit of learn mode.
* A history DTC will be cleared after 100 malfunction-free ignition cycles or when a scan tool is used to clear DTCs.
