DTC C172D[12] Left Tail Light Output Circuit Short to Battery (BCM)

1. DTC C172D[12] description

The BCM controls the clearance light output circuit and taillight output circuit according to the signal input from the light control switch, and it illuminates the clearance light and taillight. Also, it turns ON the illumination light output circuit and supplies the power supply voltage to each circuit. If the BCM detects a malfunction in the clearance light (left) output circuit, taillight (left) output circuit, or illumination light output circuit, the DTC is set.

2. Condition for setting DTC C172D[12]

Condition for running the DTC

  • The BCM commands the clearance light (left), taillight (left), and illumination light OFF.

Any of the following conditions are met:

  • The BCM detects a short to the power supply in the clearance light (left) output circuit for 2.5 seconds or more.
  • The BCM detects a short to the power supply in the taillight (left) output circuit for 2.5 seconds or more.
  • The BCM detects a short to the power supply in the illumination light output circuit for 2.5 seconds or more.

3. Action taken when DTC C172D[12] sets
