DTC Fault Trigger Conditions
DTC Description Fault Trigger Condition BCM B14B6:12 Snow Plow Output: Circuit Short To Battery This DTC sets in the BCM if the voltage is detected on the rear heated seats/customer access relay control circuit. BCM B14B6:14 Snow Plow Output: Circuit Short To Ground Or Open This DTC sets in the BCM if no current draw is detected on the rear heated seats/customer access relay control circuit. Possible Sources
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- BJB (BCMC) fuse
- BJB (BCMC)
- BCM
- A1 VERIFY BJB (BATTERY JUNCTION BOX) FUSE
- VERIFY BJB (BCMC) fuse 19 (20A) is OK.
Is fuse OK?
Yes GO to A2 No REFER to the OEM WIRING DIAGRAMS to identify the possible causes of the circuit short. - A2 CHECK THE REAR HEATED SEATS/CUSTOMER ACCESS RELAY CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR VOLTAGE
- Disconnect BJB (BCMC) C1035B.
Is voltage greater than 11 volts?
Yes GO to A3 No GO to A6 - A3 CHECK THE SNOWPLOW ENERGY MANAGEMENT RELAY CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect BCM C2280F.
- Ignition ON.
- Measure:
Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead C2280F-34 Ground
Is any voltage present?
Yes REPAIR the circuit. No GO to A4 - A4 CHECK THE SNOWPLOW ENERGY MANAGEMENT RELAY CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
- Ignition OFF.
- Measure:
Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead C2280F-34 Ground
Is the resistance greater than 10, 000 ohms?
Yes GO to A5 No REPAIR the circuit. - A5 CHECK THE SNOWPLOW ENERGY MANAGEMENT RELAY CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
Is the resistance less than 3 ohms?
Yes GO to A7 No REPAIR the circuit. - A6 CHECK FOR CORRECT BCMC (BODY CONTROL MODULE C) OPERATION
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect and inspect all BCMC connectors.
- Repair:
- corrosion (install new connector or terminals - clean module pins)
- damaged or bent pins - install new terminals/pins
- pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary
- Reconnect the BCMC connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.
- Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.
Is the concern still present?
Yes CHECK OASIS for any applicable service articles: TSB, GSB, SSM or FSA. If a service article exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW the service article instructions. If no service articles address this concern,, INSTALL a new BCMC. REFER to: Body Control Module C (BCMC) . No The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by module connections. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues. CLEAR the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). - A7 CHECK FOR CORRECT BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE) OPERATION
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect and inspect all BCM connectors.
- Repair:
- corrosion (install new connector or terminals - clean module pins)
- damaged or bent pins - install new terminals/pins
- pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary
- Reconnect the BCM connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.
- Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.
