Causes
- Intermittent or low supply voltage to the reporting module
- Poor or corroded ground(s)
- Damaged wiring harness or chafed insulation
- Poor connector contacts or water ingress at connectors
- Failed sensor or actuator on the affected circuit
- Faulty control module or internal module fault
Symptoms
- Illumination of one or more warning lights related to body systems
- Loss or intermittent operation of the associated body function (locks, lighting, seat/heater, etc.)
- Stored or repeating diagnostic trouble codes for the same circuit
- Erratic behavior of related systems or failed diagnostics during module communications
What to check
- Read DTCs and freeze-frame data with a capable OEM-level scan tool; note which module reported B1244
- Check for additional related codes (U- or other B-codes) and pending/intermittent flags
- Visually inspect harnesses and connectors for damage, corrosion, moisture or rodent damage in areas related to the affected system
- Verify battery voltage and charging system before performing diagnostics (low battery can cause spurious codes)
- Check fuses and relays for the affected circuit
- Backprobe connector pins to verify supply voltage and ground at the module and affected components
Signal parameters
- Module supply voltage (expected ~12 V with key on)
- Module ground continuity to chassis (near 0 Ω)
- Sensor/actuator signal voltage or resistance (refer to OEM spec for component)
- CAN high/low voltages (nominal ~2.5 V idle) and bus activity when active
- LIN line voltage and wake/sleep behavior (if applicable)
- Pulse-width or frequency for actuators where applicable (compare to OEM values)
Diagnostic algorithm
- Use an OEM-level diagnostic tool; read and record all stored, pending and history codes and freeze-frame data. Note which module reported B1244 and any timestamps.
- Confirm whether the code is current or historic: clear codes, perform work cycle/drive cycle and see if B1244 returns.
- Visually inspect wiring, connectors, and components for the affected circuit (water, corrosion, damage). Repair any obvious issues and retest.
- Verify battery voltage and grounding. Repair any low-voltage or poor-ground conditions before continuing.
- With the ignition on, backprobe relevant connector pins to verify power, ground and signal presence according to the OEM wiring diagram. Compare readings to factory values.
- Check data bus communications (CAN/LIN) using a scope or scan tool. Look for missing messages, errors, or abnormal voltages.
- Perform wiggle tests on harnesses/connectors while monitoring live data to try to reproduce the fault.
- If measurements and communications are within specification, consult manufacturer TSBs and wiring diagrams — perform module reprogramming or software update if recommended.
- Replace only verified faulty components (sensor, actuator, or module). After any repair or replacement, clear codes and complete the required relearn or calibration procedures and verify repairs by re-running the same tests and a road/operation cycle.
- If the fault persists after exhaustive wiring and component checks, consult dealer-level technical support for advanced module bench testing or module replacement guidance.
Likely causes
- Corroded/loose connector at the module or the affected component
- Open or short in a wiring harness (pin damage, chafe)
- Poor ground returning the circuit to the vehicle body/chassis
- Failed sensor or actuator on the specific sub-circuit
- Intermittent CAN/LIN communication to the reporting module
Fault status
Status
Body-system fault stored by vehicle control module. May be active, intermittent or historic—refer to freeze-frame and time‑stamp data.
Repair difficulty: Medium
Diagnostic time: 0.5-2.0 hours
