Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The vehicle power mode master is the body control module (BCM). The ignition switch is a low current switch with multiple discrete circuits to the BCM. The BCM logic uses the ignition switch positions to identify the operator's desired power mode and activate specific discrete signals, and serial data messages for the operation of different subsystems as necessary. Other modules which have switched voltage inputs may operate in a default mode if the power mode master serial data message does not match what the individual module can detect from its own connections.
The power mode master will activate relays and other direct outputs of the power mode master as needed according to the calculated power mode. Some relays controlled by the BCM are switched ignition voltage outputs that are pass through circuits within the BCM directly from the ignition switch. If these circuits short to ground, the B+ circuit fuse to the ignition switch will open.
Conditions for Running the DTC
B1370 01, B1441 01
Ignition switch is in the ACCESSORY position.
B1370 04
Ignition switch is in the RUN or CRANK positions.
B1380 01
Ignition switch is in the CRANK position.
B1380 04
Ignition switch is in the RUN or ACCESSORY positions.
B1441 04
Ignition switch is in the OFF, RUN, or CRANK positions.
Conditions for Running the DTC
B1370 01, B1370 04
Ignition switch is in the RUN or CRANK positions.
B1380 01, B1380 04
Ignition switch is in the RUN or ACCESSORY positions.
B1441 01, B1441 04
Ignition switch is in the CRANK position.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
B1370 01
Ignition circuit is shorted to voltage.
B1370 04
* Ignition circuit is open.
* Ignition, accessory, or off/run/crank circuit shorted to ground.
* B+ circuit of the ignition switch is open or shorted to ground.
* Ignition relay control circuit open, including relay coil and ground.
B1380 01
Accessory circuit is shorted to voltage.
B1380 04
* Accessory circuit is open.
* Ignition, accessory, or off/run/crank circuit shorted to ground.
* B+ circuit of the ignition switch is open or shorted to ground.
B1441 01
Off/run/crank signal circuit is shorted to voltage.
B1441 04
Off/run/crank signal circuit is open.
Actions Taken When the DTC Sets
* The BCM operates in a fail-safe power mode dependent on the last valid power mode detected and the state of the engine run flag data on the serial data communications circuits.
* The other modules on the vehicle operate in a fail-safe power mode dependent on the last valid power mode transmitted by the BCM and the state of the engine run flag on the serial data communications circuits.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
* The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists.
* A history DTC will clear once 50 consecutive malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred.

Circuit/System Verification
With a scan tool, access Power Mode data display list and compare all parameters listed with the corresponding ignition key position. The Power Mode Parameters table below illustrates the correct state of these input parameters in correspondence to the S39 ignition switch position. The circuits which the individual parameters are related to are in parentheses.
Circuit/System Testing
1. Disconnect the X1 harness connector at the S39 ignition switch.
2. Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 2 and ground.
• If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal and the B+ circuit fuse is open, test the ignition circuits listed below for a short to ground.
Note: To help isolate a short to ground, it may be necessary to disconnect modules that are connected to the following circuits:
* terminal 1
* terminal 3
* terminal 4
* terminal 6
3. Connect the harness connector at the S39 ignition switch.
4. Ignition OFF, key out, disconnect the X3 harness connector at the K9 BCM. Verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between the ignition circuit terminals listed below and ground:
* terminal 5
* terminal 6
* terminal 15
* terminal 22
• If the test lamp illuminates, test the ignition circuits for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the S39 ignition switch.
5. Ignition in the ACCESSORY position, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the terminal 5 and ground.
• If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ignition circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the S39 ignition switch.
6. Ignition in the CRANK position, verify that a test lamp illuminates between terminal 6 and ground.
• If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ignition circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the S39 ignition switch.
7. If all of the circuits test normal, replace the K9 BCM.
Component Testing
Ignition Switch
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the S39 ignition switch.
2. Verify the resistance between the terminals listed below match for each S39 ignition switch position.
• If not the specified value, replace the S39 ignition switch.
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification (Verification Tests) after completing the repair.
