Causes
- Blown fuse or tripped relay on wake/wiring circuit
- Open, short to ground, or high resistance in wake-up wire or connector
- Failed or intermittent connector pin contact (corrosion, bent pin)
- Faulty wake source (e.g., BCM, body control module, ignition switch, telematics unit)
- Control module internal input circuit failure
- Low battery/insufficient system voltage or excessive voltage drop
Symptoms
- No response from the affected control module on key-on or remote wake events
- Vehicle may not perform functions controlled by the module until ignition is cycled or module is forced awake
- Extended crank or no crank if a powertrain module fails to wake (depending on module)
- One or more communication bus messages missing or modules show as not present on a scan tool
- Interior electronics may not behave normally (e.g., locks, windows, remote start failures)
What to check
- Connect a factory-level scan tool; confirm P24F0 stored and note freeze-frame data and counts
- Check battery resting voltage and cranking voltage (should be ~12.6 V at rest, >9.6 V while cranking)
- Verify related fuses and wake relays are intact and seated correctly
- Inspect connectors and wiring in the wake signal path for damage, corrosion, bent pins, or water intrusion
- Backprobe the wake input at the control module with ignition/key in OFF, ACC, and ON to observe changes
- Check chassis and engine grounds for tightness and corrosion
Signal parameters
- Wake-line behavior depends on vehicle architecture—consult service manual for exact values
- Common wake-line types: 12 V switched wake: inactive ~0 V (or open), active ~9–14 V when request present
- Logic-level or control-line wake (5 V logic): inactive ~0–0.5 V, active ~4–5 V
- For CAN bus wake: bus idle ~2.5 V (CAN_H ~2.5 V / CAN_L ~2.5 V); wake/traffic shows CAN_H pulses up to ~3.5 V and CAN_L down to ~1.5 V
- Use oscilloscope to capture waveform if intermittent: expect a clean transition/pulse when wake is commanded
Diagnostic algorithm
- Verify DTC: Clear codes, cycle ignition and attempt to reproduce; confirm P24F0 returns and capture freeze-frame.
- Battery and power: Measure battery resting voltage and check for excessive voltage drop during crank or wake attempts. Recharge/replace battery if weak.
- Fuses/relays: Locate and inspect fuses and relays for the module's wake circuit; replace if faulty.
- Visual inspection: Inspect wiring and connectors for the wake input path from the wake-source (ignition switch, BCM, telematics unit) to the affected module. Repair visible damage.
- Backprobe and measure: With a digital multimeter or oscilloscope, backprobe the module wake input connector while commanding a wake (key ON, remote request). Confirm expected voltage or waveform per service manual.
- Verify grounds: Check resistance from module ground pins to battery negative; clean/tighten ground connections as required.
- Isolate loads: Disconnect aftermarket devices or non-essential modules that may hold the line low. Re-test.
- Check upstream module: If the wake signal originates from another control module (BCM/IPC), verify that source module wakes and drives the wake line correctly. Scan for related communication or wake-source faults.
- Wiring continuity: If signal is low, disconnect both ends and check continuity and resistance of the wake conductor; repair open/high resistance or short-to-ground.
- Reprogram/replace: If wiring and upstream sources are good and signal never reaches the module, consider replacing the module input connector or the module itself only after confirming fault is not harness-related. Reprogram or update module software per manufacturer instructions.
- Final verification: Clear codes, perform full wake-cycle tests (remote, key, automatic wake scenarios) and confirm normal operation and no reoccurrence of P24F0.
Likely causes
- Blown fuse or faulty wake relay for the module
- Open or damaged wake-up wire between wake-source module and affected control module
- Faulty connector (corroded pins or poor crimp) at the control module
- Dead/weak battery or poor ground causing voltage drop on wake line
Fault status
Status
Control module detected wake-up input at low voltage (no valid wake request). Module did not wake as expected.
Repair difficulty: Medium
Diagnostic time: 1.0-3.0 hours
