Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Circuit/System Testing
Use the schematic to determine which devices are on the K9 Body Control Module's ignition circuit terminal 22 X4. Use the connector end view to identify the ignition circuit terminal for each of those devices.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connectors at an easily accessible device that shares the K9 Body Control Module's ignition circuit terminal 22 X4. Ignition ON.
- Verify that the DTC U1814 remains current.
- If the DTC becomes history
Replace the device that was just disconnected.
- Go to next step: If the DTC remains current
- If the DTC becomes history
- With the prior devices disconnected, repeat steps 1 and 2 for each device on the ignition circuit except the K9 Body Control Module.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X4 harness connector at the K9 Body Control Module.
- Test for infinite resistance between the ignition circuit terminal 22 X4 at the K9 Body Control Module and ground.
- If less than infinite resistance
Repair the short to ground on the circuit.
- Go to next step: If infinite resistance
- If less than infinite resistance
- Replace the K9 Body Control Module.
