B1369

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Ignition 0 input to the body control module BCM is used to determine the power mode that the vehicle is in. If the BCM senses that the ignition 0 input is inactive when ignition 3 is active and the engine is running, DTC B1369 is set.

CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING THE DTC
^ The engine is running.
^ At least 20 seconds has elapsed since the engine was started.

CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
The ignition 0 input is inactive after the engine has been running for 20 seconds.

ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
^ Multiple indicators illuminate on the IPC panel.
^ The vehicle will not start.

CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE DTC
^ A current DTC B1369 will clear when the malfunction is no longer present and the ignition switch is cycled.
^ A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold, without a repeat of the malfunction.
