B1000 39 Cadillac STS I

  1. Internal power supply failure
  2. Internal yaw rate sensor failure
  3. Internal temperature sensor failure
  4. Forward looking sensor error

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

If any variant of the DTC B1000 was set as current, the respective module will stop working. Some indications to the driver may be displayed, function of the module that set the code.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

  1. A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present.
  2. A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold, without a repeat of the malfunction.

Diagnostic Aids

  1. This DTC may be stored as a history DTC without affecting the operation of the module. If stored only as a history DTC and not retrieved as a current DTC, do not replace the module.
  2. If this DTC is retrieved as both a current and history DTC, replace the module.

DTC B1000

Circuit Description

The remote control door lock receiver (RCDLR) provides a high side drive output for the ignition 1 voltage circuit. The RCDLR controls the Run/Crank relay when the backup power mode is enabled.

DTC Descriptor

This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC

DTC B1370 Device Ignition 1 (ON and START) Circuit

DTC B1370

Conditions for Running the DTC

  1. Voltage supplied to the module is in the normal operating voltage range of 9-16 volts.
  2. Backup power mode is enabled.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

  1. The RCDLR detects a short to ground in the ignition 1 voltage circuit when the output is active.
  2. The RCDLR detects a short to battery or an open in the ignition 1 voltage circuit when the output is inactive.
  3. Any of the condition above must be present for more than 0.375 seconds.

The RCDLR disables the output for the current ignition cycle when a short to ground is detected.

  1. A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present.
  2. A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold, without a repeat of the malfunction.

DTC B1370

The instrument panel module (IPM) is the power mode master and the remote control door lock receiver (RCDLR) is the backup power mode master. Both modules receive information regarding ignition mode switch position from the ignition mode switch. IPM receives ignition mode switch position data through the IPM ignition mode data signal circuit.

This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC

DTC B1380

Voltage supplied to the module is in the normal operating voltage range of 9-16 volts.

The IPM sets the code if it detects that the OFF/ACC contact of the ignition mode switch is closed for more than 30 seconds.

The IPM does not react to switch inputs of equal or lower priority until condition is cleared.

  1. A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present.
  2. A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold, without a repeat of the malfunction.

The following can cause the code to set as history

  1. An intermittent problem of the ignition mode switch
  2. The ACC/OFF button of the ignition mode switch was pressed for more than 30 seconds.
