DTC Descriptors

DTC B3140 00
- Driver Door Unlock Switch Circuit

DTC B3150 00
- Left Front Door Lock Switch Circuit

Diagnostic Fault Information






Circuit/System Description

The body control module (BCM) monitors the voltage level of the door lock and door unlock signal circuits. When the central door lock switch is in the open position, the voltage level in the signal circuit will be near 12 V. When the central door lock switch is pressed to the lock or unlock position, the voltage level in the appropriate signal circuit will drop to 0 V and the BCM will detect the voltage drop and command the door latches to perform the requested lock or unlock command.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The system voltage is 9-16 V.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

B3140 00

The BCM detects short to ground in the unlock signal circuit for greater than 60 seconds.

B3150 00

The BCM detects a short to ground in the lock signal circuit for greater than 60 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

B3140 00

The BCM will ignore the unlock signal and the doors will not unlock when using the central door lock switch.

B3150 00

The BCM will ignore the lock signal and the doors will not lock when using the central door lock switch.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* The DTC will be current for as long as the fault is present.

* When the fault is no longer present, the DTC will be a history DTC.

* A history DTC will clear after 50 ignition cycles.

Circuit/System Verification

1. Vehicle in Service Mode.

2. Verify the scan tool BCM Central Door Lock Switch on Console parameter changes from Inactive to Lock and Unlock when pushing the appropriate switch on the central door lock switch.

If the parameter does not change
Refer to Circuit/System Testing.

If the parameter changes

3. All OK.

Circuit/System Testing

Central Door Lock Switch Malfunction

1. Vehicle OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the A20 radio/HVAC control. It may take up to 2 minutes for all vehicle systems to power down.

2. Test for less than 10 ohms between the ground circuit terminal 17 and ground.

If 10 ohms or greater

1. Vehicle OFF.

2. Test for less than 2 ohms in the ground circuit end to end.

If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.

If less than 2 ohms, repair the open/high resistance in the ground connection.

If less than 10 ohms

3. Vehicle in Service Mode.

4. Test for greater than 10 V between the signal circuit terminal 12 and ground.

If 10 V or less

1. Vehicle OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K9 body control module.

2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit and ground.

If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.

3. Test for less than 2 ohms in the signal circuit end to end.

If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.

If less than 2 ohms, replace the K9 body control module.

If greater than 10 V

5. Test for greater than 10 V between the signal circuit terminal 13 and ground.

If 10 V or less

1. Vehicle OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K9 body control module.

2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit and ground.

If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.

3. Test for less than 2 ohms in the signal circuit end to end.

If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.

If less than 2 ohms, replace the K9 body control module.

If greater than 10 V

6. Test or replace the A20 radio/HVAC control.

Component Testing

Central Door Lock Switch

1. Vehicle OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the A20 radio/HVAC control.

2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal terminal 12 and the ground terminal 17 with the switch in the open position.

If less than infinite resistance
Replace the A20 radio/HVAC control.

If infinite resistance

3. Test for infinite resistance between the signal terminal 13 and the ground terminal 17 with the switch in the open position.

If less than infinite resistance
Replace the A20 radio/HVAC control

If infinite resistance

4. Test for less than 2 ohms between the signal terminal 12 and the ground terminal 17 with the switch in the Lock position.

If 2 ohms or greater
Replace the A20 radio/HVAC control.

If less than 2 ohms

5. Test for less than 2 ohms between the signal terminal 13 and the ground terminal 17 with the switch in the Unlock position.

If 2 ohms or greater
Replace the A20 radio/HVAC control.

If less than 2 ohms

6. All OK
