DTC Descriptor

DTC B144A 02

- RUN Power Relay Circuit Short to Ground

Diagnostic Fault Information

Circuit/System Description

The body control module (BCM) controls the ignition 1 relay through the control circuit by applying voltage to the circuit. The ignition 1 relay is

energized when the ignition switch is in ON or START, or when a remote start is requested.

Conditions for Running the DTC

* The system voltage is between 9-16 V.

* The DTC can only run when the output is activated.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The BCM detects a short to ground in the ignition 1 relay control circuit.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The module output driver will be shut down and not supply voltage to the ignition 1 relay control circuit.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* The current DTC will clear when the module request for the output is removed or the malfunction is no longer present.

* A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold of 50, without a repeat of the malfunction.

Diagnostic Aids

Short to voltage in the ignition 1 relay control circuit will cause the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) to illuminate with the ignition key OFF, and

the engine will remain running if started and the ignition key is removed.
