DTC B2745
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.

DTC Descriptor
DTC B2745 02
- Traction Control Switch Circuit Short to Ground
Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The driver may disable the Traction Control System (TCS) by pressing the traction control switch. The body control module (BCM) detects the signal circuit is grounded and sends a serial data message to the EBCM to disable traction control, and the IPC to illuminate the indicator.
Conditions for Running the DTC
Ignition ON.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The signal circuit is shorted to ground or the traction switch is stuck in the closed position for 60 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
* The EBCM disables the VSES for the duration of the ignition cycle.
* A DIC message and/or a warning indicator may be displayed.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
* The EBCM disables the VSES for the duration of the ignition cycle.
* The EBCM clears the history DTC when a current DTC is not detected in 100 consecutive drive cycles.

Circuit/System Verification
Ignition ON, observe the scan tool BCM Traction Control Switch parameter while pressing and releasing the Traction Control Switch. The reading should change between Active and Inactive.
Circuit/System Testing
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the traction control switch.
2. Test for less than 10 ohms between the ground circuit terminal 16 and ground.
• If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
3. Ignition ON, verify the scan tool Traction Control Switch parameter is Inactive.
• If not the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal 5 for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
4. Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 5 and the ground circuit terminal 16. Verify the scan tool Traction Control Switch parameter is Active.
• If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
5. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the traction control switch.
Component Testing
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the traction control switch.
2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal terminal 5 and the ground terminal 16 with the switch in the open position.
• If not the specified value, replace the traction control switch.
3. Test for less than 3 ohms between the signal terminal 5 and the ground terminal 16 with the switch in the closed position.
• If greater than the specified range, replace the traction control switch.
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification (Verification Tests) after completing the diagnostic procedure.
