Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The keyless entry control module provides backup controls for the ignition power circuit, through the control circuit, by applying voltage to the circuit. The ignition power circuit is energized when the vehicle power mode is in Vehicle ON or Vehicle in Service Mode.
Conditions for Running the DTC
B1451 01, B1451 04
* Vehicle power mode is Vehicle OFF
* Module is awake
* DTC B1451 not already set
* System voltage between 6 and 16 V
B1451 02
* Vehicle power mode is Vehicle ON or Vehicle in Service Mode
* Module is awake
* The DTC is only run when the output is active
* DTC B1451 is not already set
* System voltage between 6 and 16 V
Conditions for Setting the DTC
B1451 01
Ignition output is not active and a short to battery is detected 3 consecutive times.
B1451 02
Ignition output is active and a short to ground is detected 3 consecutive times.
B1451 04
Ignition output is not active and an open circuit is detected 20 consecutive times.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
B1451 02
The ignition output is deactivated when a short to ground is detected. After 100 ms the output is activated again. This happens 3 times and then the output is deactivated until a new Vehicle ON or Vehicle in Service Mode request is received.
B1451 01, B1451 04
No action is taken.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
* The current DTC will clear when the malfunction is no longer present during a DTC check.
* A history DTC clears when the module power mode cycle counter reaches the reset threshold of 40, without a repeat of the malfunction.
Diagnostic Aids
* A short to voltage in the ignition control circuit will keep the vehicle modules awake, which can drain the vehicle's battery.
* A short to ground in the extension of this circuit through the body control module can back feed to the keyless entry control module. Check for a short to ground on the ignition circuit on the other side of the ignition pass thru, in the body control module, before replacing the body control module.

Circuit/System Verification
Verify DTC B1330 is not set.
If the DTC is set, refer to DTC B1325, B1330, B1517, C0800, C0899, C0900, C12E1, C12E2, P0562, P0563, P1A0C, P1A0D, or P1EFC B1325.
Circuit/System Testing
1. Vehicle OFF, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the K84 keyless entry control module.
2. Verify that a test lamp illuminates between B+ circuit terminal 5 and ground.
• If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
3. Vehicle OFF, reconnect the X2 harness connector at the K84 keyless entry control module and disconnect the X3 harness connector at the K9 body control module.
4. Vehicle OFF, test for less than 1 V between the ignition circuit terminal 5 and ground.
• If greater than the specified range, test the ignition circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K84 keyless entry control module.
5. Vehicle in Service Mode, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the ignition circuit terminal 5 and ground.
• If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ignition circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K84 keyless entry control module.
6. If all circuits test normal, replace the K9 body control module.
