Device Power #1 Circuit Malfunction

Brand: HUMMER

AI status

ready
Completed 100%
Page language: EN

Causes

  • Blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker
  • Faulty power relay for Device Power #1
  • Broken, corroded or disconnected wiring or connector (open circuit)
  • Short to ground or short to battery voltage on the power feed
  • Poor or corroded ground connection
  • Failed load device (actuator/module) drawing excessive current

Symptoms

  • Related system inoperative or intermittent (depends on what Device Power #1 feeds)
  • Instrument panel warning/backlight or dedicated warning lamp illuminated
  • Functional loss only when vehicle is vibrating or after engine bay heat — intermittent behavior
  • Other DTCs set for the device or dependent systems
  • Possible abnormal battery drain if stuck shorted

What to check

  • Retrieve freeze frame and full scan-tool data; note any additional DTCs and time/date of occurrence
  • Visually inspect wiring harnesses, connectors, fuses and relays for the Device Power #1 circuit for corrosion, damage or loose pins
  • Verify battery voltage is good (12.4–12.8 V at rest, 13.5–14.8 V charging) before testing circuits
  • Check/replace fuse(s) and inspect fuse holder for heat damage
  • Test relay operation (listen for click, swap with known-good relay if possible)
  • Backprobe power and ground pins at the affected device connector with key ON/engine OFF to verify presence and stability of voltage

Signal parameters

  • Expected key ON, engine OFF: battery voltage at Device Power #1 feed (~12.0–14.5 V depending on state)
  • Expected key OFF: ~0 V (no battery feed) on switched feeds unless constant feed circuit
  • Ground continuity: low resistance to battery negative (
  • Voltage drop under load: less than ~0.5 V from battery positive to device power terminal when device energized
  • Current draw: depends on device; compare to specification or a known-good device (abnormal high current indicates short or failed device)

Diagnostic algorithm

  1. Connect a scan tool and record all stored/active codes and freeze-frame data. Note related modules and timestamps.
  2. Visually inspect fuse(s), relay(s) and connectors for Device Power #1. Replace any visibly damaged components and clear codes to retest.
  3. Verify battery/charging system health. Low supply voltage can cause circuit malfunction codes — correct if needed.
  4. With key ON (engine off), backprobe the device power terminal and measure voltage. If no voltage, trace upstream to fuse/relay/power source and test continuity to battery positive.
  5. If voltage present at fuse/relay but not at device, remove connectors and check for corroded pins, push/pull connectors fully seated, repair as needed.
  6. If voltage is present but intermittent, perform wiggle test along harness while watching voltage and scan data. Repair broken wires or protective loom damage.
  7. If voltage is low under load, measure voltage drop from battery positive to device and from device ground to battery negative; repair high-resistance connections or grounds.
  8. If wiring and power supply check good, disconnect the device and measure current draw at the circuit; compare to spec. If excessive, replace the device.
  9. If the wiring, power, device and grounds check OK, suspect control module output failure — consult service information, check module grounds/power and update/replace module only after confirming.
  10. After repairs, clear DTCs and perform functional test and road test as required to confirm fault does not return.

Likely causes

  • Failed/dirty connector at device or module
  • Blown fuse protecting the Device Power #1 feed
  • Relay stuck open or contacts burned
  • Wire chafed and shorting to chassis or another circuit
  • High-resistance ground at mounting point
  • Aftermarket accessory or prior repair damaged the harness

Fault status

⚠️ Status
Device Power #1 Circuit Malfunction — the module detected abnormal voltage/current on the Device Power #1 feed (open, short, intermittent or excessive draw). Repair wiring, fuses, relays, grounds or replace failed device/module as required.
🟡 Repair difficulty: Medium
⏱️ Diagnostic time: 0.5-2.5 hours
