The Body Control Module (BCM) controls the output of several vehicle systems using solid state drivers. A DTC sets when an overload occurs on any of these drivers. The module tracks the number of repetitive faults on each of these circuits and compares this number of overloads to 3 progressive thresholds established for each circuit.

At the each threshold, DTC U1000:00 sets along with the DTC associated with the affected circuit.

DTC U1000:00 (Solid State Driver Protection Activated - Driver Disabled: No Sub Type Information) - sets when the BCM has disabled a circuit due to a repetitive circuit overload and a progressive threshold is met.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
