Circuit Description

The body control module (BCM) monitors and supplies an output on CKT 195. When the BCM receives a lock command from the remote control door lock receiver, the BCM supplies voltage on CKT 195 in order to lock the doors. The BCM will set a DTC when the following conditions exist:

    • CKT 195 is shorted to ground.
    • BCM receives a lock command from the remote control door lock receiver.

Conditions for Setting the DTC
    • The BCM commands the door lock relay active.
    • When the BCM receives a lock signal from the remote control door lock receiver module and CKT 195 is shorted to ground.
    • The system voltage is between 9.0-16.0 volts.
    • The above conditions exist for 0.25 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
    • The door lock system will not lock the doors from the key fob.
    • The door lock switches will not lock the doors.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
    • A current DTC will clear after the next door lock cycle that does not contain a fault.
    • A history DTC will clear after 100 consecutive ignition cycles without a fault present.
    • History and current DTCs may be cleared using a scan tool.

Diagnostic Aids
    • Always diagnose the first DTC that is listed on the scan tool.
    • Verify that the scan tool displays DTC B3137 as a current code before you perform diagnostics.
    • Inspect for loose or poor connections at all of the related components.
    • Refer to Intermittents and Poor Connections Diagnosis in Wiring Systems.

Test Description
