Pinpoint Test F: DTC B1317

Refer to Wiring Diagram Set 123, Memory Seats for schematic and connector information. Diagrams By Number

Normal Operation

The Driver Seat Module (DSM) monitors the voltage from the battery to determine if it goes above or below specific thresholds and sets DTC B1317 in continuous memory if the DSM detects high battery voltage above 15 volts for more than 500 ms on circuit SBP12.

- DTC B1317 (Battery Voltage High) - a continuous memory DTC that sets when the DSM detects battery voltage above 15 volts for more than 500 ms on circuit SBP12.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

- Charging system concern
- DSM
