DTC Descriptors
DTC B1325 03: Device Power Circuit Voltage Below ThresholdDTC B1325 07: Device Power Circuit Voltage Above Threshold
Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit | Short to Ground | Open/High Resistance | Short to Voltage | Signal Performance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
B+ | B1325 03 | B1325 03 | -- | -- |
Ground | -- | B1325 03 | -- | -- |
Circuit/System Description
The control modules on this vehicle monitor the battery voltage through the battery positive (B+) voltage circuits. The following control modules will set this DTC:
| • | Body control module (BCM) |
| • | Instrument panel cluster (IPC) |
| • | Radio |
| • | Sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) |
Conditions for Running the DTC
The battery voltage supplied to the control modules is in the range of 7-26 volts.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
B1325 03
The control module detects a system voltage less than 9 volts for 5 seconds.
B1325 07
The control module detects a system voltage greater than 18 volts for 5 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The control module immediately disables all outputs when an out of range voltage condition has been detected, with the exception of GMLAN and the Run/Crank relay, which are disabled after a 3 minute delay. |
| • | The setting of other DTCs is inhibited. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
The DTC passes when the malfunction is no longer present.
Diagnostic Aids
| • | A high or low voltage value in multiple modules indicates a concern in the charging system. |
| • | Overcharging with a battery charger or jump starting can cause this DTC to set. |
| • | This DTC may set if the battery is disconnected for any reason. |

Circuit/System Testing
- Engine running, accessories OFF, measure and record the battery voltage at the battery terminals. The voltage should be between 12.6 and 15.0 volts.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connectors at the appropriate module.
- Ignition OFF and scan tool disconnected, open and close the driver door, and wait 1 minute. Test for less than 5 ohms between the following ground circuit terminals and ground:
- Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the following B+ circuit terminals and ground:
- If all circuits test normal, replace the appropriate module.
| ⇒ | If not within the specified range, refer to Charging System Test. |
Warning: Refer to SIR Warning in the Preface section.
| • | Terminal 6 (IPC) |
| • | Terminal 31 (SDM) |
| • | Terminal 8 X1 (Radio) |
| • | Terminal E12 X4 (BCM) |
| ⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance. |
| • | Terminal 1 (SDM) |
| • | Terminal 14 (IPC) |
| • | Terminal 1 X1 (Radio) |
| • | Terminal D12 X3 (BCM) |
| ⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. |
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
