Pinpoint Test An: DTC B1318

NOTE: Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.
NOTE: Failure to disconnect the battery when instructed will result in false resistance readings. Refer to BATTERY, BATTERY MOUNTING SYSTEM & BATTERY CABLES .
  1. AN1 RECHECK THE IC DTCs 
    • Ignition ON.
    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: IC  Self-Test.
    • Clear the DTCs. Repeat the IC  self-test.
    • Is DTC B1318 still present? 
    • Yes:  Go to AN2  .
    • No:  The system is operating correctly at this time. The DTC may have been set due to a previous low battery voltage condition.
  2. AN2 CHECK FOR CHARGING SYSTEM DTCs IN THE PCM 
    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: PCM Self-Test.
    • Carry out the PCM Key ON Engine OFF (KOEO) self-test.
    • Retrieve the continuous memory DTCs from the PCM.
    • Is DTC P0620, P0622, P0625, P0626 or P065B set in the PCM? 
  3. AN3 CHECK THE BATTERY CONDITION AND STATE OF CHARGE 
  4. AN4 CHECK THE IC VOLTAGE SUPPLY 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Measure and record the voltage at the battery.
    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: IC  DataLogger.
    • Monitor and compare the IC  voltage PID (VBAT_1) against the measured battery voltage.
    • Is the voltage within 0.2 volt of the recorded battery voltage? 
    • Yes:  Go to  AN7.
    • No:  Go to AN5  .
  5. AN5 CHECK THE IC VOLTAGE SUPPLY 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect: IC  C220.
    • Ignition ON.
    • Measure the voltage between the IC  C220-21, circuit SBP26 (YE/RD), harness side and ground.

    • Is the voltage within 0.2 volt of the recorded battery voltage? 
    • Yes:  Go to AN6  .
    • No:  REPAIR circuit SBP26 (YE/RD) for high resistance. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
  6. AN6 CHECK THE IC GROUND CIRCUIT 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect: Negative Battery Cable.
    • Measure the resistance between the IC  C220-4, circuit GD114 (BK/BU), harness side and ground; and between the IC  C220-5, circuit GD114 (BK/BU), harness side and ground.

    • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 
    • Yes:  Go to AN7  .
    • No:  REPAIR circuit GD114 (BK/BU) for high resistance. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
  7. AN7 CHECK FOR CORRECT IC OPERATION 
    • Disconnect the IC  connector.
    • Check for:
      • corrosion
      • damaged pins
      • pushed-out pins
    • Connect the IC  connector and make sure it seats correctly.
    • Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
    • Is the concern still present? 
    • Yes:  INSTALL a new IC  . Refer to INSTRUMENT CLUSTER (IC) . TEST the system for normal operation.
    • No:  The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector.
