Principles of Operation

NOTE: The time out for the battery saver relay and the accessory delay relay is 1 minute if the vehicle has less than 80 km (50 miles). For additional information on the battery saver relay, see INTERIOR LIGHTING . For additional information on the accessory delay relay, see GLASS, FRAMES AND MECHANISMS - PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION . Once the vehicle passes the approximate mileage threshold of 80 km (50 miles), the time out for both relays will be the normal 10 minute time out, as described by the Owner's Literature.

The SJB is a multi-function control module that controls many of the vehicle systems. Several SJB functions utilize hardwired inputs and/or outputs. The SJB controls the following hardwired functions, using the corresponding inputs and outputs:

In addition, the SJB is involved in other vehicle systems through communication over the controller area network (CAN). For a detailed list of SJB network inputs and outputs, see MODULE CONFIGURATION .

Some SJB parameters are programmable. Two types of programmable parameters are available: vehicle configuration and customer preference. See MODULE CONFIGURATION for additional information on programmable parameters.

The SJB utilizes a protective circuit strategy for many of its outputs (for example, the headlamp output circuit). Output loads (current level) are monitored for excessive current (typically short circuits) and are shut down (voltage or ground provided by the module is turned off) when a fault is detected. A continuous DTC is stored at that time for the fault. The circuit will then reset after an ignition cycle or customer demand of the function (which will switch the component on, causing the 30-minute battery saver timer to be energized). When an excessive circuit load occurs several times, the module shuts down the output until a service procedure is carried out. At the same time, the continuous DTC that was stored on the first failure will not clear by a command to clear the continuous DTCs. The module will not allow this code to be cleared or the normal circuit function restored, until a successful on-demand self-test proves that the fault has been repaired. After the on-demand self-test has successfully completed (no on-demand DTCs present), the continuous DTC will have been cleared and the normal circuit function will be restored.

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 be set as follows:
