For 1990-2009 cars

### Circuit Description

The low battery detection is handled inside the transmitter. The transmitter sends a battery condition signal to the integrated body control module (IBCM) when the transmitter buttons are pressed.

### Conditions for Setting the DTC

This code shall be set after 3 consecutive low battery signals from the same programmed transmitter.

### Conditions for Clearing the DTC

This code is cleared as current when a normal transmitter voltage signal is received from any programmed transmitter.

### Test Description

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

1. Diagnostic system check

2. Checks DTC status as current or history in Remote Function Actuation Menu on scan tool.

3. This step identifies the key fob # , transmitter, with a low battery signal.

4. This step verifies that the battery replacement corrected the fault.

1. Use scan tool in order to clear the DTCs.
2. Operate the replacement transmitters 3 consecutive times.

Does the DTC reset?

Go to Step 8

System OK

8 | Important: When replacing the integrated body control module (IBCM), perform the transmitter reprogramming procedure. Replace the IBCM. Refer to Body Control Module Replacement in Body Control System. Did you complete the replacement? | System OK | --
