U3504Control Module Input Power B Circuit Range/Performance

  • Generic OBD-II code · Network
  • Can trigger limp mode
How the car detects it
U3504 checks the plausibility of the second supply input, B. Modules with high-power stages often split their supply: in GM's electric brake booster tables B is the battery feed of the booster circuit (voltage sensor 1), checked separately against low and high limits and compared with feed C. U3504 applies when B is present but implausible, for example disagreeing with the logic supply or failing to follow battery voltage under load, without crossing a hard limit. No manufacturer documents U3504 publicly. Because B often feeds valves or motors, a high resistance tends to show only while current flows, as a drop that is invisible at rest. Measure the voltage drop across fuse, connector and ground under load and check whether U3018 or U3505 are stored as well.
What you may notice
  • Power stage functions weak or switched off under load
  • Code mainly when motors or valves are active
Likely causes
  • PossibleResistance in fuse, connector or ground of feed B under load
  • PossibleFeed B supplied from a different source than expected
  • RareDrifting measurement of feed B inside the module
Repair
Medium · Often possible to do yourself.Typical cost: €10 – €500
