DTC Descriptor
DTC B147F 02
- Battery Saver Relay Reset Secondary Circuit Short to Ground
Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The battery saver mode reduces the parasitic load of some modules during overseas shipment or during vehicle storage conditions. This improves
the drain time on the battery (up to 70 days without the battery going dead). When the vehicle is in transport/storage, some features may have
reduced functionality while in the battery saver mode, such as disabling the Remote Function Actuator or content theft features.
The battery saver mode incorporates a latching relay that when enabled disconnects some modules from their ignition off power or memory power
sources. For vehicles built before the mid-year 2010 model year or not flashed with 2010 model year, or newer, software, battery saver mode is
initiated by starting the vehicle and then turning the ignition key into the crank position or pushing the push button start switch (if equipped) for
greater than 15 seconds. For vehicles built after the mid-year 2010 model year or flashed with 2010 model year, or newer, software, battery saver
mode is initiated by turning on the hazard flashers, starting the vehicle, and then turning the ignition key into the crank position or pushing the push
button start switch (if equipped) for greater than 15 seconds. The mode is disengaged by repeating the previous process causing the relay to latch in
the other direction. This feature can be used as many times as necessary if the vehicle is to be stored for an extended period of time.
Conditions for Running the DTC
* The system voltage is between 9-16 V.
* The DTC can only run when the output is activated.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The BCM detects a short to ground in the battery saver relay reset circuit.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The module output driver will be shut down and not supply voltage to the battery saver relay reset circuit.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
* The current DTC will clear when the module request for the output is removed or the malfunction is no longer present.
* A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold of 50, without a repeat of the malfunction.
