|
U3000:49
|
Control Module: Internal Electronic Failure
|
The module has permanently disabled an
output because an excessive current draw fault (such as a short to
ground) has exceeded the limits that the BCM can withstand. The cause of
the excessive current draw MUST be corrected before a new BCM
is installed. ADDRESS all other Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) first.
After the cause of the concern is corrected, INSTALL a new BCM . REFER to: Body Control Module (BCM) (419-10 Multifunction Electronic Modules, Removal and Installation). For additional information on BCM Field Effect Transistor (FET) protection, REFER
to: Module Controlled Functions - System Operation and Component
Description (419-10 Multifunction Electronic Modules, Description and
Operation).

B1A78:12
|
Front Fog Lamp: Circuit Short To Battery
|
A continuous and on-demand DTC that sets when the BCM detects a short
to voltage from the front fog lamp relay control circuit.
|
B1A78:14
|

|
Control Module: Internal Electronic Failure
|
This DTC sets when the BCM
has permanently shut down the output driver. The module has
permanently disabled an output because an excessive current draw fault
(such as a short to ground) has exceeded the limits that the BCM can
withstand. CORRECT the cause of the excessive current draw before
installing a new BCM . For additional information on BCM Field Effect
Transistor (FET) protection, REFER to: Module Controlled Functions -
