B3840
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTIONThe body control module (BCM) monitors the activity of the park lamp relay switch with the headlamp switch in either the PARK position or the HEAD position
CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING THE DTC
Voltage supplied to the module is in the normal operating voltage range (approximately 10 - 16 volts).
CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
The BCM detects an open or a short to ground in the park lamp supply voltage circuit with the headlamp switch in either the PARK position or the HEAD position.
ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
The BCM stores DTC B3840 in memory.
CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE MIL/DTC
^ A current DTC B3840 clears if the BCM no longer detects an open or a short to ground.
^ A history DTC B3840 clears after 100 consecutive ignition cycles.
^ The BCM receives the clear code command from the scan tool.
DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
^ If the DTC B3840 is a history DTC, the fault may be intermittent. Refer to Testing for Intermittent and Poor Connections in Diagnostic Aids.
^ An intermittent open or short to ground in the following locations may cause an intermittent malfunction to occur:
- The park lamp supply voltage circuit
- The park lamp relay
- The BCM
