Condition
In some situations a Service Technician may encounter
a condition where they are unable to clear certain Body
Control Module (BCM) DTCs after completing a repair.
The Technician may incorrectly assume that the BCM
has been damaged.
Cause
When the BCM detects a short to ground on a High
Side Driver (switch to power), or a short to voltage on a
Low Side Driver (switch to ground), the BCM will set
one or more DTCs and will stop attempting to drive the
affected device in order to protect itself from electrical
overstress.
The following is a list of DTCs that might be set and
result in the need to follow the Correction procedure.

Correction
When the short to ground or voltage has been repaired
the BCM must be “reset” in order for it to attempt to
drive the affected device. Failure to reset the BCM may
result in the Technician not being able to verify the
repair, which may result in misdiagnosis and
unnecessary replacement of the BCM.
If this condition as described is encountered, perform
the following:
1. Turn OFF the ignition. Retained accessory power
should be allowed to time out, or simply open the
driver door.
2. Disconnect the battery for 30 seconds. Refer to
Battery Negative Cable Disconnection and
Connection in SI.
3. Connect the battery.
4. Turn ON the ignition.
5. Use the scan tool to clear all DTCs.
6. Exercise the repaired output in order to validate the
repair.
