Pinpoint Test BK: DTC U3003:16
Refer to Wiring Diagram Set 60, Instrument Cluster for schematic and connector information. Diagrams By Number
Normal Operation
- DTC U3003:16 (Battery Voltage: Circuit Voltage Below Threshold) - sets in the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) in continuous memory if the IPC detects battery voltage below 9 volts on the voltage supply circuit for 5 seconds or longer.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- High circuit resistance
- IPC
PINPOINT TEST BK: DTC U3003:16
NOTICE: Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector
NOTE: Failure to disconnect the battery when instructed results in false resistance readings. Refer to Battery, Mounting and Cables Battery Disconnect / Connect.
-------------------------------------------------
BK1 RECHECK THE IPC DTCs
- Ignition ON.
- Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: IPC Self-Test.
- Clear the DTCs.
- Wait 10 seconds.
- Repeat the IPC self-test.
- Is DTC U3003:16 still present?
Yes
GO to BK2.
No
The system is operating correctly at this time. The DTC may have been set due to a previous low battery voltage condition.
-------------------------------------------------
BK2 CHECK FOR CHARGING SYSTEM DTCs IN THE PCM
- Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: PCM Self-Test.
- Carry out the PCM Key ON Engine OFF (KOEO) self-test.
- Retrieve the continuous memory DTCs from all modules.
- Is DTC P0620, P0622, P0625, P0626 or P065B set in the PCM?
Yes
REFER to Charging System Testing and Inspection.
No
GO to BK3.
-------------------------------------------------
BK3 CHECK THE BATTERY CONDITION AND STATE OF CHARGE
- Check the battery condition and verify the battery is fully charged. Refer to Battery, Mounting and Cables Testing and Inspection.
- Is the battery OK and fully charged?
Yes
GO to BK4.
No
REFER to Battery, Mounting and Cables Testing and Inspection.
-------------------------------------------------
BK4 CHECK THE IPC VOLTAGE SUPPLY
- Measure and record the voltage at the battery.
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: IPC C220.
- Ignition ON.
- Measure the voltage between the IPC C220-6, circuit SBP11 (BU/RD or YE/RD), harness side and ground.
- Is the voltage within 0.2 volt of the recorded battery voltage?
Yes
GO to BK5.
No
REPAIR circuit SBP26 (YE/RD) for high resistance. CLEAR the DTC. REPEAT the self-test.
-------------------------------------------------
BK5 CHECK THE IPC GROUND CIRCUIT
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: Negative Battery Cable.
- Measure the resistance between the IPC C220-22, circuit GD184 (BK/GY or BK/YE), harness side and ground.
- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
Yes
GO to BK6.
No
REPAIR circuit GD114 (BK/BU) for high resistance. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
-------------------------------------------------
BK6 CHECK FOR CORRECT IPC OPERATION
- Disconnect the IPC connector.
- Check for:
- corrosion
- damaged pins
- pushed-out pins
- Connect the IPC connector and make sure it seats correctly.
- Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
- Is the concern still present?
Yes
INSTALL a new IPC. REFER to Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC). TEST the system for normal operation.
No
The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector.
