DTC Descriptor

DTC B1433 00: Ignition-Switched Power Relay 2 Circuit

The body control module (BCM) supplies B+ to terminal 5, X1. For vehicles equipped with a Run relay, the BCM controls the Run relay through the coil control circuit by applying voltage to the coil side of the relay. The Run relay is energized when any of the following conditions are true:

•	Ignition Switch is in ACCESSORY or RUN.

•	The vehicle is remote started.

•	The vehicle is in retained accessory power (RAP) mode.

Conditions for Running the DTC

•	The system voltage is between 9-16 V.

•	The DTC can only set when the output is actively being requested by the module.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The DTC will set only when the module requests the output and there is a short to ground at BCM terminal 5, X1 or in the Run relay coil control circuit.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The module output driver will be shut down and not supply voltage to the circuit.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

•	The current DTC will clear when the module request for the output is removed or the malfunction is no longer present.

•	A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold of 50, without a repeat of the malfunction.

Diagnostic Aids
