B3622 59 (2) Cadillac STS I

The IPM does not react to any switch inputs of equal or lower priority. If 2 switches are closed at the same time the IPM will read the least resistive path, so that switch takes precedence over the other one.

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

The following are the correct resistance value ranges and counts displayed by IPM. The counts displayed by the scan tool proportionally vary with battery voltage.

1Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle?Go to Step 2Go to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle in Vehicle DTC Information
2IMPORTANT: The Steering Wheel Controls Return parameter proportionally varies with battery voltage. They will not necessarily follow the values from the table. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. Observe the Steering Wheel Controls Return parameter under instrument panel module (IPM) Data Display>Inputs. Compare the parameter values with the values provided in Diagnostic Aids for every switch position. Are all the values correct?Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring SystemsGo to Step 3
3CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution in Cautions and Notices. Turn OFF the ignition. Disconnect the steering wheel control switch assembly. Measure the resistance between the remote radio control head ACC supply voltage circuit and the steering column radio control signal circuit, at the steering wheel control switch. While measuring the resistance, press each of the steering wheel control switches. Does the resistance toggle between infinite and the range specified in Diagnostic Aids for each switch?Go to Step 4Go to Step 8
4Disconnect the IPM. Test the steering column radio control signal circuit for a short to voltage or high resistance. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition?Go to Step 10Go to Step 5
5Test the remote radio control head ACC supply voltage circuit for high resistance. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition?Go to Step 10Go to Step 6
6Inspect for poor connections and terminal tension at the harness connector of the IPM. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition?Go to Step 10Go to Step 7
7Replace the IPM. Refer to Control Module References for replacement, setup, and programming. Did you complete the replacement?Go to Step 10
8Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the steering wheel control switch assembly. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition?Go to Step 10Go to Step 9
9Replace the steering wheel control switch assembly. Refer to Steering Wheel Control Switch Assembly Replacement in Steering Wheel and Column. Did you complete the replacement?Go to Step 10
10Reconnect all components. Use the scan tool in order to clear the DTC. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC as specified in the supporting text. Does the DTC reset?Go to Step 3System OK
IMPORTANT

CAUTION
Refer to SIR Caution in Cautions and Notices.

DTC B3622

Circuit Description

Modules connected to the GMLAN serial data circuit monitor for serial data communications on the GMLAN network during normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules. Each module on GMLAN network maintains a transmit error counter (TEC) and a receive error counter (REC). The counter values increase with detected errors and will decrease with error-free messages. If the TEC value exceeds 255 the controller removes itself from the network and a DTC U0001 will be set.
