NOTE: The RBM will stop functionality when battery voltage drops below 10.5 volts. The PRB system will recover at the next door ajar transition provided that the battery voltage remains above 10.5 volts.

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

The RBM receives battery voltage from BJB fuse F89 (30A) and ground at G200. The LH and RH Hall-effect sensors (Integral to the PRB motors) receive a regulated 5 volt power supply, and ground from the RBM . The RBM monitors each motor movement using the Hall-effect sensor signal from the respective motor. The RBM receives door ajar status for each door and vehicle speed status over the MS-CAN . Door ajar signals trigger the RBM to deploy or stow the respective RH or LH PRB .

Possible Causes

  • Wiring, terminals or connectors
  • Door ajar signal concern
  • Vehicle speed signal concern
  • Foreign material causing blockage of PRB movement
  • PRB motor

C1006:11, C1006:12, C1006:13, C1006:19


Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 109 for schematic and connector information.

Normal operation and Fault Conditions

The RBM determines the need to move the LH PRB and applies voltage and ground on only 2 circuits to the PRB motor in order to stow (retract) or deploy (extend) the PRB . To stow the PRB , the RBM applies voltage on the LEFT RB STOW circuit and ground on the LEFT RB DEPLOY circuit. To deploy the PRB switches the voltage and ground so the voltage is applied to the LEFT RB DEPLOY circuit and ground to the LEFT RB STOW circuit. The RBM monitors the PRB motor current draw while it is operating. These Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCS) will set if the circuits are interrupted or if the PRB motor current is above 45 Amps.

Normal operation and Fault Conditions

The RBM determines the need to move the RH PRB and applies voltage and ground on only 2 circuits to the PRB motor in order to stow (retract) or deploy (extend) the PRB . To stow the PRB , the RBM applies voltage on the RIGHT RB STOW circuit and ground on the RIGHT RB DEPLOY circuit. To deploy the PRB the RBM switches the voltage and ground so the voltage is applied to the RIGHT RB DEPLOY circuit and ground to the RIGHT RB STOW circuit. The RBM monitors the PRB motor current draw while it is operating. These Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCS) will set if the circuits are interrupted or if the PRB motor current is above 45 Amps.

      • return the swapped module to source vehicle and obtain new replacement module.
  • Operate the system and determine if the observable symptom is still present.

Is the observable symptom still present?
Yes GO to J6
No The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been due to incorrect parts replacement procedures or incorrect module configuration.

J6 VERIFY ALL WIRING CONNECTIONS
  • Ignition OFF.
  • Disconnect RBM C3313A and C3313B.
  • Disconnect all BCM electrical connectors.
  • Disconnect all in-line electrical connectors between the RBM and the BCM .
  • Using a good light source, inspect all disconnected electrical connectors for the following:
    • corrosion - install new connector or terminal and clean the module pins
    • damaged or bent pins - install new terminals or pins
    • pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary
    • spread terminals - install new terminals as necessary

Are the connectors free of corrosion, damaged pins, bent pins, pushed-out pins and spread terminals?
Yes GO to J7
No REPAIR the connector or terminals.
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 5 for schematic and connector information.

J7 CHECK FOR DTC (DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE) U0140:XX SET IN OTHER MODULES
  • Connect all in-line electrical connectors between the RBM and the BCM . Make sure they seat and latch correctly.
  • Connect all BCM electrical connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.
  • Connect RBM C3313A and C3313B. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.
  • Ignition ON.
  • Using a diagnostic scan tool, carry out the self-test to retrieve all Continuous Memory Diagnostic Trouble Codes (CMDTCs) from all modules.

Is DTC U0140:xx set in one or more modules in addition to the RBM ?
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, INSTALL a new BCM .
REFER to: Body Control Module (BCM) (419-10 Multifunction Electronic Modules) .
No If DTC is not present in any module, the system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
If DTC is present only in the RBM , 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, INSTALL a new RBM .
REFER to: Running Board Control Module (RBM) (501-08 Exterior Trim and Ornamentation, Removal and Installation).


U1000:00

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

The BCM uses a solid state driver (Field Effect Transistor (FET)) to control the output of several vehicle systems. When an overload occurs on any of these drivers, the BCM disables the output and tracks the number of repetitive faults on each of these circuits. The module compares this number of overloads to 3 progressive thresholds established for each circuit. At each threshold, DTC U1000:00 sets along with the DTC associated with the affected circuit.


  DTC Fault Trigger Conditions


DTC Description Fault Trigger Conditions
U1000:00 Solid State Driver Protection Active: Driver Disabled: No Sub Type Information A continuous memory DTC that sets when the BCM has disabled a circuit due to a repetitive circuit overload and a progressive threshold is met.

Possible Sources

  • BCM output circuit short
  • BCM

PINPOINT TEST K: U1000:00
K1 REVIEW THE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS)
  • Ignition ON.
  • Perform the BCM self-test.
  • Review the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) from the BCM self-test.

Are any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) present besides U1000:00?
Yes CORRECT the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). REFER to the BCM DTC Chart.
REFER to: Body Control Module (BCM) (419-10 Multifunction Electronic Modules) .
No GO to K2

K2 REPEAT THE BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE) SELF-TEST
  • Using a diagnostic scan tool, clear the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
  • Wait 10 seconds.
  • Repeat the BCM self-test.

Is DTC U1000:00 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, INSTALL a new BCM .
REFER to: Body Control Module (BCM) (419-10 Multifunction Electronic Modules, Removal and Installation).
No The system is operating correctly at this time. The circuit short has been repaired.

    Wheel to Hub Runout Minimization. General Procedures

    Check

    NOTE: Wheel-to-hub optimization is important. Clearance between the wheel and hub can be used to offset or neutralize the Road Force® or run-out of the wheel and tire assembly. For every 0.001 inch of wheel-to-hub clearance, the Road Force® can be affected between 1 and 3 pounds depending on the tire stiffness.

    NOTE: The example below illustrates how the clearance between the wheel and the hub can be used to offset the high spot of radial run-out or Road Force®. Following the procedure will make sure of the best optimization.

    Position the wheel and tire assembly on the vehicle so that the high spot location of radial run-out or Road Force® is at the 6 o'clock position and
