DTC Descriptor

DTC B1529 00: Control Module Voltage Reference Output 5 Circuit

Diagnostic Fault Information

Circuit	Short to Ground	Open/High Resistance	Short to Voltage	Signal Performance
BCM B+ Terminal 3	B1529 00, B3794 08, B3922 00	B1529 00, B3794 08, B3922 00	--	--
BCM B+ Terminal 17	B1529 00, B3794 08, B3922 00	B1529 00, B3794 08, B3922 00	--	--

Circuit/System Description

The body control module (BCM) provides battery voltage to the cruise control switch and the automatic transmission shift lever.

Conditions for Running the DTC

•	The ignition is ON.

•	The battery voltage is between 9 - 16 volts.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

•	The BCM detects a short to ground or an open on the B+ circuit.

•	The above condition is met for 5 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The BCM stores the DTC information into memory when the diagnostic runs and fails.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

•	The condition for setting the DTC is no longer present.

•	A history DTC clears after 40 fault-free ignition cycles.

Circuit/System Testing

Ignition OFF, disconnect the X3 harness connector at the BCM.
Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the BCM F9 fuse B+ circuit terminal 3 and ground.

⇒	If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.

Ignition OFF, connect the X3 harness connector at the BCM.
Disconnect the harness connector at the turn signal/multifunction switch.
Ignition ON, test for B+ between the B+ circuit terminal 6 and ground.

⇒	If less than the specified value, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.

If all circuits test normal, test or replace the turn signal/multifunction switch.

Component Testing

Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the steering wheel switch assembly.
Test for 0.5-O.L. ohms between the scroll wheel terminals listed below, while rotating each steering wheel scroll wheel several times through its full range of motion.

•	right steering wheel scroll wheel terminal 1 and terminal 2.

•	left steering wheel scroll wheel terminal 3 and terminal 4.

⇒	If not within the specified range or is erratic, replace the steering wheel switch.

Test the resistance between the signal terminal 6 and the low reference terminal 5 while depressing the appropriate steering wheel controls switch button listed below.

⇒	If not the specified value, replace the steering wheel switch.

Function Switch	Minimum Resistance Value	Maximum Resistance Value
Mute	98 Ohm	104 Ohm
Phone/Talk	247 Ohm	253 Ohm
Disc Change	426 Ohm	434 Ohm
Audio	646 Ohm	653 Ohm
Trip	975 Ohm	983 Ohm
Call End	3.73k Ohm	3.79k Ohm
No Switch Pressed	7.01k Ohm.	7.30k Ohm.
