Conditions for Running the DTC

1. Battery voltage is between 9-16 V.
2. The ignition is ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The BCM detects a low/high voltage on the control circuit.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

1. The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists.
2. A history DTC will clear once 100 consecutive malfunction free ignition cycles have occurred.

2. The ignition is ON.

B1529 03

1. The BCM detects a short to ground in the 12 V reference circuit.
2. The above condition is present for greater than 30 s.

B1529 07

1. The BCM detects a short to voltage in the 12 V reference circuit.
2. The above condition is present for greater than 30 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The BCM will ignore switch inputs.

1. The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists.
2. A history DTC will clear once 100 consecutive malfunction free ignition cycles have occurred.

Control Module References for BCM replacement, programming and setup.

Scheme 3

The steering wheel control switches duplicate the function of the primary controls of the associated component, through a network of momentary contact switches and a series of resistors. The body control module (BCM) supplies voltage to the switches and monitors the return signal. When a switch is pressed, a specific voltage drops across the resistor unique to that switch. The BCM identifies the switch selected and sends a serial data message to the component controlled by the switch, activating the feature.

This section is intended to diagnose the circuits between the BCM and the steering wheel control switches. If the primary control for the device is inoperative, refer to the appropriate section for the component the steering wheel control switch is used for.
