NOTE: DTC U3003:17 may be stored in the module memory due to past battery charging or vehicle jump starting events.

-------------------------------------------------
AR1 CHECK FOR HIGH VOLTAGE DTCs SET IN OTHER MODULES


- Ignition ON.
- Retrieve the continuous DTCs from all modules.
- Is DTC B1317, B1676, B0563 (PCM), or U3003:17 set in more than one module?

Yes
REFER to Charging System to diagnose an overcharging condition.

No
GO to AR2.

-------------------------------------------------
AR2 CHECK THE BATTERY VOLTAGE


- Turn off all interior/exterior lights and accessories.
- Start and run the engine at approximately 2,000 rpm for 3 minutes while monitoring the battery voltage.
- Does the battery voltage rise to 15.5 volts or higher?

Yes
REFER to Charging System to diagnose an overcharging condition.

No
GO to AR3.

-------------------------------------------------
AR3 RECHECK FOR DTC B1317


- Ignition OFF.
- Ignition ON.
- Clear the APIM DTCs.
- Repeat the APIM self-test.
- Is DTC U3003:17 present?

Yes
INSTALL a new APIM. REFER to Accessory Protocol Interface Module (APIM) Accessory Protocol Interface Module (APIM). TEST this system for normal operation.

No
