DTC B12D3:11 [BCM]

Description

Door lock-link switch (LH) circuit malfunction

Detection condition

  • Any of the following conditions is met with the ignition switched ON (engine off or on).

    • The BCM detected a short to ground in the door lock-link switch (LH) lock circuit for 5 s or more with the door lock-link switch (LH) unlocked.

    • The BCM detected a short to ground in the door lock-link switch (LH) unlock circuit for 5 s or more with the door lock-link switch (LH) locked.

Fail-safe

Not applicable

Possible cause

  • Door latch and lock actuator (LH) connector or terminal malfunction

  • Door lock-link switch (LH) malfunction

  • Start stop unit connector or terminal malfunction

  • BCM connector or terminal malfunction

  • Short to ground in wiring harness between the following terminals:

    • Door latch and lock actuator (LH) terminal B—BCM terminal 2B

    • Door latch and lock actuator (LH) terminal D—BCM terminal 2A

    • Start stop unit terminal 1P—Door latch and lock actuator (LH) terminal D

  • Start stop unit malfunction

  • BCM malfunction

Diagnostic Procedure

Step

Inspection

Action

1

VERIFY BCM DTCs AGAIN

  • Clear the DTC for the BCM using the M-MDS.

    (See CLEARING DTC [BCM].)

  • Perform the following work:

    • Lock all the doors by operating the driver’s door lock knob.

    • Wait for 5 s or more.

    • Unlock all the doors by operating the driver’s door lock knob.

    • Wait for 5 s or more.

  • Retrieve the BCM DTCs using the M-MDS.

    (See DTC INSPECTION [BCM].)

  • Is the same DTC displayed?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Go to Step 9.

2

INSPECT DOOR LATCH AND LOCK ACTUATOR (LH) CONNECTOR CONDITION

  • Switch the ignition off.

  • Disconnect the negative battery cable.

    (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION.)

  • Disconnect the door latch and lock actuator (LH) connector.

  • Inspect the connector engagement and connection condition and inspect the terminals for damage, deformation, corrosion, or disconnection.

  • Is the connector normal?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Repair or replace the connector, then go to Step 8.

3

INSPECT DOOR LOCK-LINK SWITCH (LH)

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Replace the door latch and lock actuator (LH), then go to Step 8.

(See DOOR LATCH AND LOCK ACTUATOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

4

INSPECT START STOP UNIT CONNECTOR CONDITION

  • Disconnect the start stop unit connector.

  • Inspect the connector engagement and connection condition and inspect the terminals for damage, deformation, corrosion, or disconnection.

  • Is the connector normal?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Repair or replace the connector, then go to Step 8.

5

INSPECT BCM CONNECTOR CONDITION

  • Disconnect the BCM connector.

  • Inspect the connector engagement and connection condition and inspect the terminals for damage, deformation, corrosion, or disconnection.

  • Is the connector normal?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Repair or replace the connector, then go to Step 8.

6

INSPECT DOOR LOCK-LINK SWITCH (LH) LOCK CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO GROUND

  • Verify that the door latch and lock actuator (LH), start stop unit and BCM connectors are disconnected.

  • Inspect for continuity between the following terminals (wiring harness-side) and body ground:

    • Door latch and lock actuator (LH) terminal B

    • Door latch and lock actuator (LH) terminal D

  • Is there continuity?

Yes

Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between the following terminals:

  • Door latch and lock actuator (LH) terminal B—BCM terminal 2B

  • Door latch and lock actuator (LH) terminal D—BCM terminal 2A

  • Start stop unit terminal 1P—Door latch and lock actuator (LH) terminal D

    If there is a common connector:

  • Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for a short to ground.

  • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.

    If there is no common connector:

  • Repair or replace the wiring harness which has a short to ground.

Go to Step 8.

No

Go to the next step.

7

INSPECT START STOP UNIT

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Replace the start stop unit, then go to the next step.

(See START STOP UNIT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

8

VERIFY THAT REPAIRS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED

  • Always reconnect all disconnected connectors.

  • Connect the negative battery cable.

    (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION.)

  • Clear the DTC for the BCM using the M-MDS.

    (See CLEARING DTC [BCM].)

  • Perform the following work:

    • Lock all the doors by operating the driver’s door lock knob.

    • Wait for 5 s or more.

    • Unlock all the doors by operating the driver’s door lock knob.

    • Wait for 5 s or more.

  • Retrieve the BCM DTCs using the M-MDS.

    (See DTC INSPECTION [BCM].)

  • Is the same DTC displayed?

Yes

Repeat the inspection from Step 1.

Go to the next step.

No

Go to the next step.

9

VERIFY IF OTHER DTCs DISPLAYED

  • Are any other DTCs displayed?

Yes

Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the applicable DTC troubleshooting.

(See DTC TABLE [BCM].)

No

DTC troubleshooting completed.
