OBD2 Code: B1241

Description: Body ECU Switch Circuit Diagnosis

Common Diagnostic Steps:

• Check for any other stored trouble codes that might be related to the body control module (BCM) or switch circuits.
• Inspect the wiring and connectors associated with the body ECU switch circuit for signs of damage, corrosion, or disconnection.
• Test the voltage and ground connections at the body ECU to ensure they are within specifications.
• Use a multimeter to check for continuity in the switch circuit wiring.
• If applicable, test individual switches connected to the body ECU for proper operation using a diagnostic tool or multimeter.
• Consult vehicle-specific repair manuals or technical service bulletins (TSBs) for additional guidance on diagnosing this specific code.
• If no faults are found in the wiring or switches, consider testing or replacing the body control module itself as a last resort.
