Battery voltage must be between 9-16 V.

In the event that DTC C0277, C0297, or C0890 sets as current in the body control module (BCM) is an indication of a possible internal BCM malfunction or programming error. There are no external circuits available to diagnose on this vehicle with respect to these DTCs.

When DTC C0277 is set as current, the vehicle may not start.

  1. For DTC C0277 the ignition must be cycled before the code can be cleared.
  2. A history DTC will clear once 50 malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred.
  3. A DTC will not clear the current status until the next ignition cycle.

Diagnostic Aids

These DTCs may set as current after the replacement of an electronic brake control module (EBCM) or engine control module (ECM). If a control module has been replaced, ensure that the programming procedure and all recalibration procedures have been completed successfully before addressing these DTCs.

Visual/Physical Inspection

  1. Inspect for aftermarket devices which could affect the operation of the Lighting System. Refer to «Checking Aftermarket Accessories»(ref-364488-S07680217832010063000000) .
  2. Inspect the easily accessible or visible system components for obvious damage or conditions which could cause the symptom.
