Test A: DTC B106E - Solid State Driver Disabled Due To Short Circuit

PINPOINT TEST A: DTC B106E - SOLID STATE DRIVER DISABLED DUE TO SHORT CIRCUIT

Normal Operation
The smart junction box (SJB) controls the output of several vehicle systems. When a repetitive fault causing a circuit overload is detected on any of the output circuits, the SJB disables the circuit by removing voltage, or ground, to the affected circuit. The circuit remains disabled until the fault is corrected and an on-demand self-test is run. After the on-demand self-test has been run, any DTCs related to the fault will be cleared.

DTC B106E sets when the SJB has disabled a circuit due to a repetitive fault causing a circuit overload. A corresponding DTC for the circuit in question will also set.

- DTC B106F (Module Disabled Due to External Fault) - sets when one or more output functions are permanently disabled due to a repetitive circuit overload fault. DTC B106F will be set with DTC B106E. When DTC B106F is present, a new SJB must be installed after the fault condition has been corrected.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Output circuit short to ground or voltage
- SJB
