Any success resolving your issue?

About a month ago I stopped driving my truck as a daily driver, and a couple weeks ago I started having a similar problem.

A short time after installing a BD Diesel high idle kit, which requires a sense wire to the BCM, my DIC started displaying an error message that says something like ‘Service: Low Battery Voltage’

Around the same time I also started getting another message that said something like ‘Service: Driver Assist’

I am wondering if I caused damage when installing the high idle kit?

When I took my truck into the dealership they said that the drivers left rear haptic motor was damaged. They replaced the motor and I am no longer getting the driver assist error message.

For the low battery message they said
the error code was B1517 5A “Battery Voltage Not Plausible” and told me that they did not exactly know what was causing it, but that I should uninstall my high idle kit and see if that resolves the issue. I did and it didn’t.

From what I have read, this condition occurs when the BCM sensor voltage drops significantly below your battery voltage (e.g. 2V), which can either be caused by a shorted accessory or by a bad ground connection.

My battery voltage is a tad low (@12.5V), but that doesn’t seem to be causing me any issues ...even with the supposed fault condition everything seems to be working perfectly fine.

I want to fix the problem if there is one, but mostly I want the error message to go away.

Thanks,

That member hasn't been back online since he was warned for advertising his services. I doubt he'll be back but I could be wrong....
