U1454






U1454-00-IMPLAUSIBLE DATA RECEIVED FROM THE GATED PARK SWITCH





For a complete wiring diagram, refer to the Wiring Information.

Theory of Operation

When the Radio Frequency Hub (RF Hub) is awake, it sends a 12-volt reference signal on the T824 Transmission (TRS) Park Signal circuit. When that circuit is grounded by the transmission switch (auto trans. vehicles) or the BCM (manual trans. vehicles) the steering column lock module (ELV/ESCL) is allowed to lock the column when the conditions are right. The vehicle must be under 5 kph (3 mph) and the ignition in the lock position.

- When Monitored:
During a Passive Entry or Keyless Go event.

- Set Condition:
When there is a conflict between the Bussed messages and the hard wired inputs coming from the RF Hub and the Powertrain Control Module, this code will set.





1. CHECK FOR ACTIVE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC)
1. With the scan tool, record and erase the DTCs.
2. Turn the ignition off and wait one minute.
