Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The keyless entry control module provides backup controls for the ignition power circuit, through the control circuit, by applying voltage to the circuit. The ignition power circuit is energized when the vehicle power mode is in Vehicle ON or Vehicle in Service Mode.
Conditions for Running the DTC
B1451 01, B1451 04
* Vehicle power mode is Vehicle OFF
* Module is awake
* DTC B1451 not already set
* System voltage between 6 and 16 V
B1451 02
* Vehicle power mode is Vehicle ON or Vehicle in Service Mode
* Module is awake
* The DTC is only run when the output is active
* DTC B1451 is not already set
* System voltage between 6 and 16 V
Conditions for Setting the DTC
B1451 01
Ignition output is not active and a short to battery is detected 3 consecutive times.
B1451 02
Ignition output is active and a short to ground is detected 3 consecutive times.
B1451 04
Ignition output is not active and an open circuit is detected 20 consecutive times.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
B1451 02
The ignition output is deactivated when a short to ground is detected. After 100 ms the output is activated again. This happens 3 times and then the output is deactivated until a new Vehicle ON or Vehicle in Service Mode request is received.
B1451 01, B1451 04
No action is taken.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
* The current DTC will clear when the malfunction is no longer present during a DTC check.
* A history DTC clears when the module power mode cycle counter reaches the reset threshold of 40, without a repeat of the malfunction.
Diagnostic Aids
* A short to voltage in the ignition control circuit will keep the vehicle modules awake, which can drain the vehicle's battery.
* A short to ground in the extension of this circuit through the body control module can back feed to the keyless entry control module. Check for a short to ground on the ignition circuit on the other side of the ignition pass thru, in the body control module, before replacing the body control module.

Circuit/System Verification
1. Verify DTC B1330 is not set.
• If the DTC is set
Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle.
• If the DTC is not set
2. Refer to Circuit/System Testing.
Circuit/System Testing
1. Vehicle in Service Mode, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the K84 keyless entry control module.
2. Verify that a test lamp illuminates between B+ circuit terminal 5 and ground.
• If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is OK
1. Vehicle OFF.
2. Test for less than 2 ohms in the B+ circuit end to end.
• If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
• If less than 2 ohms, verify the fuse is OK and there is voltage at the fuse.
• If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is open
1. Vehicle OFF.
2. Test for infinite resistance between the ignition circuit and ground.
• If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
• If infinite resistance, replace the K84 keyless entry control module.
• If the test lamp illuminates
3. Vehicle OFF, connect the X2 harness connector at the K84 keyless entry control module and disconnect the X3 harness connector at the K9 body control module.
4. Test for less than 1 V between the ignition circuit terminal 5 and ground.
• If 1 V or greater
Repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
• If less than 1 V
5. Vehicle in Service Mode.
6. Verify a test lamp illuminates between the ignition circuit terminal 5 and ground.
• If the test lamp does not illuminate
1. Vehicle OFF.
2. Test for infinite resistance between the ignition circuit and ground.
• If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
• If infinite resistance.
3. Test for less than 2 ohms in the ignition circuit end to end.
• If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
• If less than 2 ohms, replace the K84 keyless entry control module.
• If the test lamp illuminates
7. Replace the K9 body control module.
