DTC B3031 (North America, except Canada)

Diagnostic Instructions

* Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle (Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview) prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
* Review Strategy Based Diagnosis (Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview) for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
* Diagnostic Procedure Instructions (Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview) provides an overview of each diagnostic category.

DTC Descriptor
DTC B3031
- Security System Controller In Learn Mode

Circuit/System Description

When learning the voltage value delivered from the security resistor, 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.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The BCM is in the Learn Passlock state.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The DTC will set any time the BCM is in the Learn Passlock state.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* Vehicle starting will be disabled.
* The security indicator is illuminated.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

A current DTC will be cleared upon the successful exit of learn mode.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Verify DTCs B2957, B2958, or B3060 are not set as current.

• If any of the DTCs are set, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle (Diagnostic Trouble Code Descriptions) .

2. Verify the scan tool BCM Passlock State parameter displays Learn Passlock.

• If not the specified value, perform the 10 Minute Security Resistor Relearn procedure.

3. Perform the 10 Minute Vehicle Key Relearn procedure. The BCM should exit the Learn Passlock state and DTC B3031 should clear.

• If the TDM does not exit the learn coded key state after the programming attempt, replace the BCM.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification (Verification Tests) after completing the diagnostic procedure.
