  BCM DTC Chart

DTC	Description	Action
B1046:11	Front Fog Lamp Control Switch: Circuit Short To Ground	GO to Pinpoint Test C
B1147:11	Left Front Fog Lamps: Circuit Short To Ground	GO to Pinpoint Test B
B1147:15	Left Front Fog Lamps: Circuit Short To Battery or Open	If the lamp is inoperative, GO to Pinpoint Test B If the lamp is always on, GO to Pinpoint Test C
B1148:11	Right Front Fog Lamps: Circuit Short To Ground	GO to Pinpoint Test B
B1148:15	Right Front Fog Lamps: Circuit Short To Battery or Open	If the lamp is inoperative, GO to Pinpoint Test B If the lamp is always on, GO to Pinpoint Test C
U1000:00	Solid State Driver Protection Actived -Driver Disabled: No Sub Type Information	The module has temporarily disabled an output because an excessive current draw exists (such as a short to ground). The BCM cannot enable the output until the cause of the short is corrected. ADDRESS all other Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) first. After the cause of the concern is corrected, CLEAR the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). REPEAT the self-test. For additional information on BCM Field Effect Transistor (FET) protection, REFER to: Module Controlled Functions - System Operation and Component Description (419-10 Multifunction Electronic Modules, Description and Operation).
U3000:49	Control Module: Internal Electronic Failure	The module has permanently disabled an output because an excessive current draw fault (such as a short to ground) has exceeded the limits that the BCM can withstand. The cause of the excessive current draw MUST be corrected before a new BCM is installed. ADDRESS all other Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) first. After the cause of the concern is corrected,    Click here to access Guided Routine (BCM). Internet Explorer version 11 or greater is required to perform this Pinpoint Test. .

Disconnect: BCM C2280G. Measure: Click to display connectors Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead   C205-14   C2280G-20 Is the resistance less than 3 ohms? Yes GO to A3 No REPAIR the circuit.

A3 CHECK FOR CORRECT BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE) OPERATION

Disconnect and inspect all BCM connectors. Repair: corrosion (install new connector or terminals – clean module pins) damaged or bent pins – install new terminals/pins pushed-out pins – install new pins as necessary Reconnect the BCM connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly. Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present. Is the concern still present? Yes CHECK OASIS for any applicable Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs). If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW TSB instructions. If no Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) address this concern,    Click here to access Guided Routine (BCM). Internet Explorer version 11 or greater is required to perform this Pinpoint Test. No The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by module connections. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
