Pinpoint Test AE : DTC B11D9:16

  1. AE1 RECHECK THE FLM DTCs

    • Ignition ON.
    • Using a scan tool, clear the DTCs and repeat the FLM on-demand self-test.

    Is DTC B11D9:16 still present? 

    Yes  GO to  AE2.
    No  The system is operating normally at this time. The DTC may have been set due to a previous low battery voltage condition.
  2. AE2 CHECK FOR CHARGING SYSTEM DTCs IN THE PCM

    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: PCM Self-Test.
    • Using a scan tool, perform the PCM KOEO self-test.
    • Using a scan tool, retrieve the continuous memory DTCs from the PCM.

    Are any charging system DTCs set in the PCM ? 

    Yes  REFER to Charging System , Symptom Chart: Charging System,
    No  GO to  AE3.
  3. AE3 CHECK THE BATTERY CONDITION AND STATE OF CHARGE

    • Ignition OFF.

    Is the battery OK and fully charged? 

    Yes  GO to  AE4.
    No  REFER to Charging System , Symptom Chart: Charging System.
  4. AE4 CHECK THE FLM VOLTAGE PID

    • Ignition ON.
    • Measure and record the voltage at the battery.
    • Using a scan tool, view FLM PIDs.
    • Using a scan tool, monitor the FLM VBAT_INPUT PID.

    Is the voltage within 0.2 volt of the recorded battery voltage? 

    Yes  GO to  AE7.
    No  GO to  AE5.
  5. AE5 CHECK THE FLM VOLTAGE SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR HIGH RESISTANCE

    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect: FLM.
    • Ignition ON.
    • Measure:
      Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead
      C205-1

      Ground

    Is the voltage within 0.2 volt of the recorded battery voltage? 

    Yes  GO to  AE6.
    No  REPAIR the circuit.
  6. AE6 CHECK THE FLM GROUND CIRCUIT FOR HIGH RESISTANCE

    • Ignition OFF.
    • Measure:
      Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead
      C205-7

      Ground

    Is the resistance less than 3 ohms? 

    Yes  GO to  AE7.
    No  REPAIR the circuit.
  7. AE7 CHECK FOR CORRECT FLM 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 TSBs. If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW TSB instructions. If no TSBs address this concern, INSTALL a new FLM. Refer to Front Lighting Control Module (FLM) .
    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.
