Diagnostic Procedure

DTC B10AD:09 - BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

Step Inspection Results Action
1 VERIFY BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) DTCs AGAIN 
  • Clear the DTC recorded in the memory. (See CLEARING DTC .)
  • Perform the DTC inspection for the body control module (BCM). (See DTC INSPECTION .)
  • Is the same Pending DTC present?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Go to repair completion verification 2.
2 INSPECT HUMIDITY SENSOR/SOLAR RADIATION SENSOR/AUTO LIGHT SENSOR/RAIN SENSOR CONNECTOR FOR MALFUNCTION 
  • Inspect the applicable connector and terminal. (See CONNECTOR INSPECTION .)
  • Are the connector and terminal normal?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Repair or replace the malfunctioning location and perform the repair completion verification.
3 INSPECT BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) CONNECTOR FOR MALFUNCTION 
  • Inspect the applicable connector and terminal. (See CONNECTOR INSPECTION .)
  • Are the connector and terminal normal?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Repair or replace the malfunctioning location and perform the repair completion verification.
4 INSPECT HUMIDITY SENSOR/SOLAR RADIATION SENSOR/AUTO LIGHT SENSOR/RAIN SENSOR LIN COMMUNICATION LINE FOR SHORT TO GROUND 
  • Inspect the applicable circuit for a short to ground. (See CIRCUIT INSPECTION .)
  • Is the circuit normal?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Repair or replace the malfunctioning location and perform the repair completion verification.
5 INSPECT HUMIDITY SENSOR/SOLAR RADIATION SENSOR/AUTO LIGHT SENSOR/RAIN SENSOR LIN COMMUNICATION LINE FOR SHORT TO POWER SUPPLY 
  • Inspect the applicable circuit for a short to power supply. (See CIRCUIT INSPECTION .)
  • Is the circuit normal?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Repair or replace the malfunctioning location and perform the repair completion verification.
6 INSPECT HUMIDITY SENSOR/SOLAR RADIATION SENSOR/AUTO LIGHT SENSOR/RAIN SENSOR LIN COMMUNICATION LINE FOR OPEN CIRCUIT 
  • Inspect the applicable circuit for an open circuit. (See CIRCUIT INSPECTION .)
  • Is the circuit normal?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Repair or replace the malfunctioning location and perform the repair completion verification.
7 INSPECT HUMIDITY SENSOR/SOLAR RADIATION SENSOR/AUTO LIGHT SENSOR/RAIN SENSOR FOR MALFUNCTION DEPENDING ON REPEATABILITY 
  • Install/connect the part removed/disconnected during the troubleshooting procedure.
  • Clear the DTC recorded in the memory. (See CLEARING DTC .)
  • Perform the DTC inspection for the body control module (BCM). (See DTC INSPECTION .)
  • Is the same Pending DTC present?
Yes Refer to the CONTROLLER AREA NETWORK (CAN) MALFUNCTION DIAGNOSIS FLOW to inspect for a CAN communication error.
(See CONTROLLER AREA NETWORK (CAN) MALFUNCTION DIAGNOSIS FLOW [(US)] .)
If the CAN communication is normal, replace the malfunctioning location and perform the repair completion verification.
(See RAIN SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
No Go to repair completion verification 2.
Repair completion verification 1 VERIFY THAT VEHICLE IS REPAIRED 
  • Install/connect the part removed/disconnected during the troubleshooting procedure.
  • Clear the DTC recorded in the memory. (See CLEARING DTC .)
  • Perform the DTC inspection for the body control module (BCM). (See DTC INSPECTION .)
  • Is the same Pending DTC present?
Yes Refer to the CONTROLLER AREA NETWORK (CAN) MALFUNCTION DIAGNOSIS FLOW to inspect for a CAN communication error.
(See CONTROLLER AREA NETWORK (CAN) MALFUNCTION DIAGNOSIS FLOW [(US)] .)
If the CAN communication is normal, perform the diagnosis from Step 1.
No Go to the next step.
Repair completion verification 2 VERIFY IF OTHER DTC IS DISPLAYED
