### Circuit Description

This is the hardware Ignition 3, CKT 341, input to the body control module (BCM) from the ignition switch.

### Conditions for Setting the DTC

All of the following conditions must be met.

• | The Ignition 3 input is not active.

• | The Ignition 1 is active for 20 seconds.

### Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The BCM stores DTC B1379 in memory.

### Conditions for Clearing the DTC

• | The BCM goes to sleep. The controller reinitializes with the fault cleared.

• | All BCM history codes will be cleared after 100 ignition cycles (from OFF to RUN) with no current codes active during the 100 ignition cycles.

• | Use the Scan Tool .

### Diagnostic Aids

• | The low beams will not function when the body control module (BCM) is in the ALC mode and only the body control module (BCM) is affected.

• | When the diagnostics direct you to take electrical measurements at the terminal assignments of the junction blocks, refer to Power Distribution Schematics in Wiring Systems.

• | If the DTC is a history DTC, the problem may be intermittent. Perform the tests shown while wiggling the wiring and connectors. This action may often cause the malfunction to appear.

### Test Description

The numbers listed below refer to the numbers on the diagnostic table.

1. This step determines if CKT 341 is delivering power to the body control module (BCM).

2. This step determines if there is an open in CKT 341 between the BCM and the RH IP junction block.

Step | Action | Value(s) | Yes | No
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
1 | Was the BCM System Check performed? | -- | Go to Step 2 | Go to Body Control Module System Check
2 |

1. Turn the ignition switch to the RUN position.
2. Disconnect the BCM connector C1
3. Use the J 39200 DMM in order to measure the voltage in CKT 341 between the BCM harness connector C1 terminal B8 and ground.

Is the voltage measured to the specified value?

B+

Go to Step 3

Go to Step 6

3 | Check for a poor connection at the BCM harness connector C1 terminal B8. Was a poor connection found? | -- | Go to Step 4 | Go to Step 5
4 | Repair the poor connection. Refer to Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Is the repair complete? | -- | Go to Step 11 | --
5 | Replace the BCM. Refer to the following procedures:

• | Body Control Module Replacement

• | Body Control Module (BCM) Programming/RPO Configuration

Is the repair complete?

--

Go to Step 11

6 |

1. Disconnect the RH IP junction block connector C1 terminal C4.
2. Use the J 39200 DMM in order to measure the resistance in CKT 341 between the BCM harness connector C1 terminal B8 and the RH IP junction block connector C1 terminal C4. Refer to Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.

Is the measured resistance within the specified range?

0-2 ohms

Go to Step 8

Go to Step 7

7 | Repair an open in CKT 341 between the BCM connector C1 terminal B8 and the RH IP junction block connector C1 terminal C4. Refer to Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Is the circuit repair complete? | -- | Go to Step 11 | --
8 | Inspect for a poor connection at the RH IP junction block connector C1 terminal C4. Refer to Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find a poor connection? | -- | Go to Step 9 | Go to Step 10
9 | Repair the poor connection at the RH IP junction block connector C1 terminal C4, CKT 341. Refer to Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Is the circuit repair complete? | -- | Go to Step 11 | --
10 | Replace the RH IP junction block. Refer to Relay/Fuse Center Replacement in Wiring Systems. Is the repair complete? | -- | Go to Step 11 | --
11 | Clear the DTCs from the memory. Are the DTCs cleared from the memory? | -- | Go to Body Control Module System Check | --
