DTC Descriptors
DTC B1325 03
- Device Power Circuit Voltage Below Threshold
DTC B1325 07
- Device Power Circuit Voltage Above Threshold
Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The control modules on this vehicle monitor the battery voltage through the battery positive (B+) voltage circuits. The following control modules will set this DTC:
* Body control module (BCM)
* Instrument panel cluster (IPC)
* Radio
* Sensing and diagnostic module (SDM)
Conditions for Running the DTC
The battery voltage supplied to the control modules is in the range of 7-26 volts.
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 GMLAN and the Run/Crank relay, which 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.
* This DTC may set if the battery is disconnected for any reason.

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 not within the specified range, refer to Charging System Test (Charging System Test).
Warning: Refer to SIR Warning (SIR Warning).
2. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connectors at the appropriate module.
3. Ignition OFF and scan tool disconnected, open and close the driver door, and wait 1 minute. Test for less than 5 ohms between the following ground circuit terminals and ground:
* Terminal 6 (IPC)
* Terminal 31 (SDM)
* Terminal 8 X1 (Radio)
* Terminal E12 X4 (BCM)
• If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
4. Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the following B+ circuit terminals and ground:
* Terminal 1 (SDM)
* Terminal 14 (IPC)
* Terminal 1 X1 (Radio)
* Terminal D12 X3 (BCM)
• If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
5. If all circuits test normal, replace the appropriate module.
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification (Verification Tests) after completing the diagnostic procedure.
