DTC

B15C511

Emergency Call Switch Circuit Short to Ground

DTC

B15C513

Emergency Call Switch Circuit Open

DESCRIPTION

If the DCM (telematics transceiver) detects an error in the communication between the DCM (telematics transceiver) and the roof console box sub-assembly (manual (SOS) switch) as a result of the DCM (telematics transceiver) self check, this DTC will be stored.

DTC No.
