DTC B1318

Battery voltage low

DETECTION CONDITION

Input voltage from the battery is excessively low

POSSIBLE CAUSE

• Open circuit in wiring harness between BCM terminal 3J and battery
• Short to GND in wiring harness between BCM terminal 3J and battery
• Battery malfunction
• Generator malfunction
• BCM malfunction

Diagnostic procedure

STEP

INSPECTION

ACTION

1
INSPECT DTC FROM PCM
• Connect the WDS or equivalent to the DLC-2.
• Are any DTCs from the PCM displayed?
Yes
Perform DTC inspection.
Go to Step 5.
No
Go to the next step.
2
INSPECT BCM CONNECTOR
• Disconnect the BCM connector.
• Inspect the BCM connector terminals for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, and corrosion).
• Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Repair or replace the terminal, then go to Step 5.
No
Go to the next step.
3
INSPECT BCM POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT
• Disconnect the negative battery cable.
• Disconnect the positive battery cable.
• Inspect for continuity between following terminals:
- BCM terminal 3J (wiring harness-side) - battery positive terminal (wiring harness-side)
• Is there continuity?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair or replace the wiring harness for a possible open circuit, then go to Step 5.
4
INSPECT BCM POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO GND
• Inspect for continuity between following terminals:
- BCM terminal 3J (wiring harness-side) - body GND
• Is there continuity?
Yes
Repair or replace the wiring harness for a possible short to GND, then go to the next step.
No
Go to the next step.
5
VERIFY TROUBLESHOOTING COMPLETED
• Make sure to reconnect all disconnected connectors.
• Clear the DTC from the BCM memory using the WDS or equivalent.
• Turn the ignition switch to LOCK position then ON position.
• Is the same DTC present?
Yes
Replace the BCM.
No
DTC troubleshooting completed.
