Pinpoint Test D : C113A:11, C113A:15: Notes
Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
The wake-up control circuit wakes up the PCM prior to the engine cranking. The PCM needs to wake up prior to a crank request so it has time to go through its initialization. The wake-up control circuit is controlled by the BCM. The BCM activates the wake-up control circuit when the driver door is opened, the BCM detects a passive key, or when the Engine start button is pressed.
DTC Fault Trigger Conditions
| DTC | Description | Fault Trigger Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| C113A:11 | PCM Wake-up Signal: Circuit Short to Ground | Set by the BCM when a short to ground is detected on the wake-up control circuit. |
| C113A:15 | PCM Wake-up Signal: Circuit Short to Battery or Open | Set by the BCM when a short to voltage or an open is detected on the wake-up control circuit. |
