DTC Descriptor
DTC B1448 00: Accessory Power Relay CircuitDiagnostic Fault Information
Circuit | Short to Ground | Open/High Resistance | Short to Voltage | Signal Performance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Ignition I/II Voltage | B1448 00 | 1 | 1 | -- |
1. Retained Accessory Power (RAP) Malfunction | ||||
Circuit/System Description
The body control module (BCM) controls the wired accessory power components by applying voltage to the ignition voltage circuit at harness connector X5 terminal 14. Voltage is applied when the ignition switch is in ACC or ON.
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | The system voltage is between 9-16 volts. |
| • | The DTC can only set when the output is actively being requested by the module. Refer to Circuit/System Description for specific conditions. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The DTC will set only when the module requests the output and there is a short to ground in the ignition voltage 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 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. |

Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition ON, verify DTC B1448 is set as current.
- Disconnect each of the following components one at a time. The components may be disconnected in any order. After each component is disconnected, cycle the ignition and verify DTC B1448 remains set as current.
- With all components disconnected, cycle the ignition and verify DTC B1480 is not set as current.
| ⇒ | If DTC B1448 is not set as current, operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Setting the DTC. |
Important: When cycling the ignition, keep ignition OFF for 5 seconds before checking for current DTC.
| • | Turn signal multifunction switch (with RPO C25) |
| • | Outside moisture sensor (with RPO CE1) |
| • | Transfer case shift select switch (with RPO NP8) |
| ⇒ | If DTC B1448 does not remain set as current, test or replace the last component that was disconnected. |
| ⇒ | If DTC B1448 remains set as current, test the ignition voltage circuit at any disconnected component for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM. |
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
