DTC Descriptors
DTC B1529 03
- Device Voltage Reference Output Circuit Voltage Below Threshold
DTC B1529 07
- Device Voltage Reference Output Circuit Voltage Above Threshold
Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The body control module (BCM) supplies voltage to the audio steering wheel control switches and monitors the return signal. Each switch state is
associated to a set resistance value and when pressed a specific voltage drop occurs across the resistor unique to the switch. The BCM identifies the
switch selection and activates the feature.
Conditions for Running the DTC
* Battery voltage is between 9-16 volts
* The ignition is ON.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
B1529 03
* The BCM detects a short to ground in the B+ voltage reference circuit.
* The above condition is present for greater than 30 seconds.
B1529 07
* The BCM detects a short to voltage in the B+ voltage reference circuit.
* The above condition is present for greater than 30 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The BCM will ignore switch inputs.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
* The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists.
* A history DTC will clear once 100 consecutive malfunction free ignition cycles have occurred.
