Driver Door Unlatch Low Control Circuit Short to Ground
| Diagnostic Fault Information |
| Circuit | Short to Ground | Open/High Resistance | Short to Voltage | Signal Performance |
| Driver Door Latch Signal | B250B 02 | B251B 04 | B250B 01 | - |
| Driver Door Unlatch Signal | B250B 02 | B251B 04 | B250B 01 | - |
| Circuit/System Description |
When any exterior door handle is lifted, switched ground signals are sent to the keyless entry control module through the door handle switch signal circuits. Upon receipt of these inputs, the keyless entry control module will check the door lock status of the following inputs:
| • |
Door unlock switch activation
|
|
| • |
Keyless entry unlock command
|
|
| • |
Passive keyless entry unlock command message is received by the keyless entry control module
|
|
Once the enable criteria has been met, the keyless entry control module will supply power and ground to door latch control circuits and the door will release.
| Conditions for Running the DTC |
Battery voltage is between 9-16 V.
| Conditions for Setting the DTC |
B250B 01
The keyless entry control module detects a short to battery in the driver door latch signal circuit.B250B 02
The keyless entry control module detects a short to ground in the driver door unlatch signal circuit.| Action Taken When the DTC Sets |
The passive entry feature will be inoperative for the driver door and the driver door will not open unless the door is first unlocked by pressing the appropriate button on the keyless entry transmitter.
| Conditions for Clearing the DTC |
| • |
The DTC will be current for as long as the fault is present.
|
|
| • |
When the fault is no longer present, the DTC will be a history DTC.
|
|
| • |
A history DTC will clear after 40 ignition cycles.

| Circuit/System Verification |
Ignition OFF, with the doors closed and locked, approach the vehicle with the keyless entry transmitter and pull the exterior driver door handle. The driver door should unlock and unlatch allowing the driver door to be pulled open.
| Circuit/System Testing |
| 1. |
Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the A23D door latch assembly-driver.
|
|
| 2. |
Connect a test lamp between control circuit terminal 10 and ground.
|
|
| 3. |
Ignition ON, command the door to UNLATCH by lifting the driver exterior door handle. The test lamp should illuminate during the UNLATCH command.
|
|
| 4. |
If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K84 keyless entry control module.
|
|
| 5. |
If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K84 keyless entry control module.
|
|
| 6. |
Connect a test lamp between control circuit terminal 5 and B+.
|
|
| 7. |
Command the door to UNLATCH by lifting the driver exterior door handle. The test lamp should illuminate during the UNLATCH command.
|
|
| 8. |
If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K84 keyless entry control module.
|
|
| 9. |
If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K84 keyless entry control module.
|
|
| 10. |
If all circuits test normal, test or replace the A23D door latch assembly-driver.
