Refer to Wiring Diagram Set 60, Instrument Cluster for schematic and connector information. Diagrams By Number

- DTC B1317 (Battery Voltage High) - sets in continuous memory if the Instrument Cluster (IC) detects battery voltage above 18 volts on the on the B+ voltage input circuit.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

- Charging system concern
- IC


PINPOINT TEST AG: DTC B1317

NOTE: DTC B1317 may be stored in the module memory due to past battery charging or vehicle jump starting events.

GO to AG3.

-------------------------------------------------
AG3 RECHECK FOR DTC B1317


- Turn the engine off.
- Ignition ON.
- Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: IC Self-Test.
- Clear the continuous memory DTCs.
- Carry out the IC self-test.
- Is DTC B1317 present?
