B2958
Security System Sensor Data Circuit High
Causes
- Short to battery voltage on the sensor data circuit
- Faulty security sensor (door/hood/trunk/tilt/impact) with internal short
- Damaged wiring or pinched/chafed harness causing short to Vbatt
- Corroded or loose connector(s) at sensor or body control module (BCM)
- Faulty BCM or security module internal driver
- Water intrusion or contamination in sensor or connector
Symptoms
- Security/anti-theft warning lamp illuminated or flashing
- False alarms or inability to arm/disarm the security system
- Door lock/unlock or remote keyless functions may be intermittent or inoperative
- Stored or recurring B2958 DTC on scan tool
What to check
- Retrieve freeze frame and current data with a capable scan tool; note which sensor(s) are flagged
- Inspect related fuses and power/ground circuits for the BCM/security module
- Visually inspect wiring and connectors for the security sensors (doors, hood, trunk, tilt/impact) for damage, corrosion, or water intrusion
- Check for aftermarket alarm/remote start interfaces; disconnect if present and retest
- Perform a wiggle test of harnesses while monitoring fault status or live data
Signal parameters
- Typical digital sensor data circuits use 0–5 V logic levels; 'circuit high' generally means voltage above the expected threshold (often >4.5 V)
- With ignition ON, expected idle voltage on data line: near 0 V (low) or a defined signal waveform depending on sensor type—consult vehicle service data for exact values
- Resistance to ground on a disconnected sensor circuit should be high (open) unless pulled up by module; short to 12 V will show ~12 V at sensor connector
Diagnostic algorithm
- Connect a compatible scan tool, read codes and freeze frame. Record which sensor or zone is reported.
- Clear the code and see if it returns immediately or under specific conditions (doors open/closed, key fob use, vehicle movement).
- Visually inspect connectors and wiring for the reported sensor(s). Repair any obvious damage, reseal or replace corroded connectors.
- With ignition ON (engine off) backprobe the sensor data pin at the sensor connector and measure voltage. Compare to expected values from service data. If the voltage is high (~12 V), suspect a short to battery.
- Disconnect the suspect sensor and observe if the DTC clears or changes. If disconnecting the sensor removes the fault, replace the sensor and retest.
- If the fault remains with the sensor disconnected, trace the harness toward the BCM looking for a short to battery or a fused ignition feed inadvertently tied in. Repair wiring as required.
- Check grounds and related power supplies to the BCM/security module. Repair poor grounds and corroded power feeds.
- If wiring and sensors test good, perform module input/output testing per manufacturer procedures. Replace BCM/security module only after confirming wiring and sensors are good.
- After repairs, clear codes and perform functional test (arm/disarm system, walk-around test) and confirm code does not return.
Likely causes
- Short to battery in sensor harness near sensor or splice
- Corroded connector at sensor causing intermittent high voltage reading
- Failed sensor pulling data line high
- Damaged insulation allowing chafe to contact battery feed or constant 12V source
- Aftermarket device tied into sensor circuit
