DTC Descriptors

- Driver Door Only Unlock Circuit Short to Ground
DTC B3130 02
- All Doors Unlock Circuit Short to Ground
DTC B3135 02
- All Doors Lock Circuit Short to Ground
Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The body control module (BCM) controls the driver and passenger door latches. When the BCM receives a driver door unlock, passenger door unlock or all door lock command, it will provide voltage to the appropriate door lock circuits and ground to the opposite door lock circuits causing the actuator to perform the lock or unlock function.
Conditions for Running the DTC
When the output is actively being requested by the BCM.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
B3125 02, B3130 02 and B3135 02
* A short to ground or an open/high resistance in the BCM B+ circuit.
* The BCM detects a short to ground on the driver or passenger door latch control circuit.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The power door locks will be inoperative.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
* The DTC will be current for as long as the fault is present.
* When the fault is no longer present, the DTC will be a history DTC.
* A history DTC will clear after 50 ignition cycles.

Circuit/System Verification
1. Ignition ON.
2. Verify both vehicle doors LOCK and UNLOCK when commanding the All Doors Lock/Unlock with a scan tool.
• If only the driver door LOCK or UNLOCK functions do not work
Refer to Circuit/System Testing - Driver Door Lock Malfunction.
• If only the passenger door LOCK or UNLOCK functions do not work
Refer to Circuit/System Testing - Passenger Door Lock Malfunction.
• If all door LOCK and UNLOCK functions do not work
Refer to Circuit/System Testing - Both Door Locks Inoperative.
• If the LOCK and UNLOCK function for all doors works
3. All OK.
Circuit/System Testing
Driver Door Lock Malfunction
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the A23D door latch assembly-driver. Ignition ON.
Note: Leaving the DMM connected between a control circuit and ground for greater than 20 seconds will cause the K9 body control module to interpret the test as a system fault and will cause the voltage on the control circuit to drop to 0 V. If the voltage drops to 0 V, operate the door locks using the central door lock switch to restore the voltage for testing.
2. Test for greater than 7 V between the control circuit terminal 3 and ground.
• If 7 V or less
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X6 harness connector at the K9 body control module.
2. Test for infinite resistance between the control circuit and ground.
• If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
• If infinite resistance
3. Test for less than 2 ohms in the control circuit end to end.
• If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance on the circuit.
• If less than 2 ohms, replace the K9 body control module.
• If greater than 7 V
Note: Leaving the DMM connected between a control circuit and ground for greater than 20 seconds will cause the K9 body control module to interpret the test as a system fault and will cause the voltage on the control circuit to drop to 0 V. If the voltage drops to 0 V, operate the door locks using the central door lock switch to restore the voltage for testing.
3. Test for greater than 7 V between the control circuit terminal 2 and ground.
• If 7 V or less
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X6 harness connector at the K9 body control module.
2. Test for infinite resistance between the control circuit and ground.
• If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
• If infinite resistance
3. Test for less than 2 ohms in the control circuit end to end.
• If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance on the circuit.
• If less than 2 ohms, replace the K9 body control module.
• If greater than 7 V
4. Test or replace the A23D door latch assembly-driver.
Passenger Door Lock Malfunction
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the A23P door latch assembly-passenger. Ignition ON.
Note: Leaving the DMM connected between a control circuit and ground for greater than 20 seconds will cause the K9 body control module to interpret the test as a system fault and will cause the voltage on the control circuit to drop to 0 V. If the voltage drops to 0 V, operate the door locks using the central door lock switch to restore the voltage for testing.
2. Test for greater than 7 V between the control circuit terminal listed below and ground:
* Control terminal 7 - A23P door latch assembly-passenger
* Control terminal 8 - A23P door latch assembly-passenger
• If 7 V or less
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X6 harness connector at the K9 body control module.
2. Test for infinite resistance between the control circuit and ground.
• If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
• If infinite resistance
3. Test for less than 2 ohms in the control circuit end to end.
• If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance on the circuit.
• If less than 2 ohms, replace the K9 body control module.
• If greater than 7 V
3. Test or replace the A23P door latch assembly-passenger.
Both Door Locks Inoperative
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the K9 body control module, ignition ON.
2. Verify a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 4 and ground.
• If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is good
1. Ignition OFF.
2. Test for less than 2 ohms in the B+ circuit end to end.
• If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
• If less than 2 ohms, verify the fuse is not open and there is voltage at the fuse.
• If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is open
1. Ignition OFF.
2. Test for infinite resistance between the B+ circuit and ground.
• If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
• If infinite resistance
3. Disconnect the harness connector at each of the A23 door latch assemblies.
4. Test for infinite resistance between each control circuit and ground.
• If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
• If infinite resistance, replace the appropriate A23 door latch assembly.
• If the test lamp illuminates
3. Ignition OFF, connect the X2 harness connector at the K9 body control module. Disconnect the harness connector at the A23D door latch assembly-driver, ignition ON.
Note: Leaving the DMM connected between a control circuit and ground for greater than 20 seconds will cause the K9 body control module to interpret the test as a system fault and will cause the voltage on the control circuit to drop to 0 V. If the voltage drops to 0 V, operate the door locks using the central door lock switch to restore the voltage for testing.
4. Test for greater than 7 V between the control circuit terminal 2 and ground.
• If 7 V or less
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X6 harness connector at the K9 body control module.

5. Replace the K9 body control module.
Component Testing
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate A23 door latch assembly.
2. Install a 25 A fused jumper wire between one of the control terminals and 12 V. Momentarily install a jumper wire between the other control terminal and ground. Reverse the jumper wires at least two times, the A23 door latch assembly should perform the LOCK and UNLOCK function.
