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 of up to 70 days without the battery going dead. When the vehicle is in transport/storage, some features may have reduce functionality as a result being in the battery saver mode, such as disabling the Remote Function Actuator or content theft features.

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 body control module (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.

Circuit/System Testing

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the KR104A Logistic Mode Relay 1.
  2. Connect a test lamp between the relay control circuit and ground.
  3. Command the Battery Saver Relay Command with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing the battery saver relay latch positions.
  4. If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
    If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to ground or open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
  5. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the KR104A Logistic Mode Relay 1.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the repair.
