B2705
DTC B2705
Circuit Description
The body control module (BCM) controls the shift lock solenoid by providing battery voltage to the shift lock control solenoid. The BCM utilizes a smart driver to control the voltage supplied to the shift lock solenoid. The smart driver monitors the voltage and current flow of the control circuit.
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC B2705 Gearshift Unlock Circuit
Conditions for Running the DTC
^ The ignition switch is in the ON position.
^ The brake pedal is depressed.
^ The transmission the PARK position.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The BCM output driver detects an open or short in the output control circuit.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The BCM disables the output control until the next ignition cycle.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
^ A current DTC B2705 will clear when the malfunction is no longer present and the ignition switch is cycled.
^ All BCM history codes will clear after 100 ignition cycles with no current codes active during the 100 ignition cycles.
Diagnostic Aids
^ Use a scan tool to verify there are no brake pedal position sensor and/or transmission internal mode switch (IMS) DTCs set that could cause the BCM not to provide battery voltage to the shift lock control solenoid.
^ If the automatic transmission shift lock solenoid control circuit is shorted to battery positive voltage, the shift lock solenoid will be inoperative. The vehicle will shift out of PARK without depressing the brake pedal, with Floor Shift. On vehicles with Column Shift the shifter will locked in PARK.
^ Perform the tests while wiggling the wires and connectors. This may often cause an intermittent malfunction to appear. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections. Component Tests and General Diagnostics
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
2. Listen for an audible click when the shift lock solenoid operates. Command both the Active and Inactive states. Repeat the commands as necessary.
3. This step tests for battery voltage at the control circuit of the shift lock solenoid.
4. This step tests for an open or short to ground at the control circuit of the shift lock solenoid.
5. This step tests for an open at the ground circuit of the shift lock solenoid.
