B3132

Diagnostic Chart (Part 1 Of 2):




Diagnostic Chart (Part 2 Of 2):




Refer to Door Lock/Indicator Schematics.

Circuit Description
The body control module (BCM) controls the unlocking function of the door locks. The BCM grounds the door lock feed circuit, switches battery power to the door unlock feed circuit, which energizes all of the door lock motors (except the driver's door lock motor) to unlock.

Conditions for Running the DTC
The BCM must be commanding all of the door lock motors (except the driver's door lock motor) to unlock.

Conditions for Setting the DTC
^ The BCM detects a short to ground in the door unlock feed circuit while commanding all of the door lock motors (except the driver's door lock motor) to unlock.
^ The condition above must be present for more than 0.3 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The BCM stores DTC B3132 in memory.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC
^ A short to ground in the door unlock feed circuit is no longer detected by the BCM.
^ A history DTC B3132 will clear after 100 consecutive ignition cycles if the condition for the malfunction is no longer present.
^ A scan tool may be used to clear the DTC.

Diagnostic Aids
^ If the DTC B3132 is a history DTC, the fault may be intermittent. Refer to Intermittents and Poor Connections.
^ The following conditions may cause an intermittent malfunction to occur:
- An intermittent short to ground in the door unlock feed circuit
- One of the door lock motors is intermittently shorted to ground internally
- The BCM is intermittently shorted to ground internally

Test Description
The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the diagnostic table.
2. Listen for an audible noise when the door lock motors are commanded to unlock. Command the door lock motors to lock and unlock. Repeat the commands as necessary.
3. Verifies that the Body Control Module is providing voltage to the door lock motors. Test the DR LK Fuse before this step is performed.
4. Tests for an open in the ground circuit to the door lock motors.
5. Tests if voltage is constantly being applied to the door lock motors.
