DTC Descriptor

DTC B2745 02

-
Traction Control Switch Circuit Short to Ground

Diagnostic Fault Information






Circuit/System Description

The body control module monitors the traction control switch. When the traction control switch is pressed once, the body control module will request the electronic brake control module via serial data to disable the traction control. When the traction control switch is pressed for 5 seconds, the body control module will request the electronic brake control module to disable the stability control. The electronic brake control module will request the instrument cluster via serial data to turn the traction control off and stability control off indicator ON to notify the driver of the deactivation.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Ignition ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The body control module detects a short to ground on the signal circuit.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The body control module ignores the traction control switch signal input.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* The condition for setting the DTC is no longer present.

* The history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive fault-free ignition cycles have occurred.

Circuit/System Verification

1. Ignition ON.

2. Verify the scan tool Body Control Module, Traction Control Switch parameter changes between Active and Inactive when pressing and releasing the traction control switch.

If the parameter does not change

Refer to Circuit/System Testing.

If the parameter changes

3. All OK.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the S48D multifunction switch 2 - instrument panel.

2. Test for less than 5 ohms between the ground circuit terminal 2 and ground.

If 5 ohms or greater

1. Ignition OFF.

2. Test for less than 2 ohms in the ground circuit end to end.

If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.

If less than 2 ohms, repair the open/high resistance in the ground connection.

If less than 5 ohms

3. Ignition ON.

4. Verify the scan tool Body Control Module, Traction Control Switch parameter is Inactive.

If not inactive

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the K9 body control module.

2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit and ground.

If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.

If infinite resistance, replace the K9 body control module.

If Inactive

5. Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 7 and the ground circuit terminal 2

6. Verify the scan tool Traction Control Switch parameter is Active.

If not Active

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the K9 body control module, ignition ON.

2. Test for less than 1 V between the signal circuit and ground.

If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.

If less than 1 V

3. Test for less than 2 ohms in the signal circuit end to end.

If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.

If less than 2 ohms, replace the K9 body control module.

If Active

7. Test or replace the S48D multifunction switch 2 - instrument panel.

Component Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the S48D multifunction switch 2 - instrument panel.

2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit terminal 7 and the ground circuit terminal 2 with the switch in the open position.

If less than infinite resistance

Replace the S48D multifunction switch 2 - instrument panel.

If infinite resistance

3. Test for less than 2 ohms between the signal circuit terminal 7 and the ground circuit terminal 2 with the switch in the pressed or closed position.

If 2 ohms or greater

Replace the S48D multifunction switch 2 - instrument panel.

If less than 2 ohms

4. All OK.
