DTC Descriptor

DTC B2745 02

-
Traction Control Switch Circuit Short to Ground

Diagnostic Fault Information






Circuit/System Description

The driver may disable the Traction Control System (TCS) by pressing the traction control switch. The body control module (BCM) detects the signal circuit is grounded and sends a serial data message to the EBCM to disable traction control, and the IPC to illuminate the indicator.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Ignition ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The BCM detects low voltage on the traction control signal circuit for 60 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* The BCM sends a serial data message to the electronic brake control module (EBCM) informing the EBCM that the desired TCS state cannot be determined.

* The EBCM defaults the TCS status to enabled.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

The DTC clears when the condition is no longer present.

Circuit/System Verification

Ignition ON, observe the scan tool BCM Traction Control Switch parameter while pressing and releasing the Traction Control Switch. The reading should change between Active and Inactive.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the traction control switch.

2. Test for less than 5 ohms between the ground circuit terminal 16 and ground.

• If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.

3. Ignition ON, verify the scan tool Traction Control Switch parameter is Inactive.

• If not the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal 5 for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.

4. Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 5 and the ground circuit terminal 16. Verify the scan tool Traction Control Switch parameter is Active.

• If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.

5. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the traction control switch.

Component Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the traction control switch.

2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal terminal 5 and the ground terminal 16 with the switch in the open position.

• If not the specified value, replace the traction control switch.

3. Test for less than 3 ohms between the signal terminal 5 and the ground terminal 16 with the switch in the closed position.

• If greater than the specified range, replace the traction control switch.
