Circuit Description
The BCM has an internal voltage sensor with a dedicated circuit that monitors the battery positive voltage circuit to determine if it is below 18 volts.
Conditions for Running the DTC
This DTC shall run only if no communication codes are set.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The ignition positive voltage level is greater than 18 volts for approximately 1/2 seconds or more.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The BCM sets a DTC and disables the following State of Health (SOH) DTCs:
| • | DTC U1096 |
| • | DTC U1255 |
| • | DTC U1300 |
| • | DTC U1301 |
The BCM illuminates the charge lamp indicator.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | The battery positive voltage level is less than 17.9 volts for approximately 1/2 seconds. |
| • | A history DTC clears after 100 malfunction free ignition cycles. |
| • | The BCM receives the clear code command from the scan tool. |
Diagnostic Aids
This DTC may set when the vehicle is placed on a battery charger, on fast charge, for a long period of time.
