Causes
- Loose, corroded or damaged battery/ignition power connection to the module
- Blown or partially open fuse or fusible link on Power B circuit
- Damaged, chafed or shorted wiring harness (open, short to ground or short to battery)
- Poor or intermittent chassis or engine ground(s) affecting module reference
- Intermittent ignition switch or relay connection feeding the Power B circuit
- Water intrusion, corrosion or contaminated connector pins at the module
Symptoms
- Stored and/or intermittent U3507 fault present; may clear and return
- Intermittent loss of functions controlled by that module (lighting, instrument cluster, communication, driveability features depending on module)
- Unexpected resets or reboots of the affected control module
- Multiple network communication errors or other U-codes present
- Vehicle may start/operate normally at times and fail or show faults at other times
What to check
- Read and record freeze frame, occurrence count and related U-codes with a capable scan tool
- Visually inspect battery terminals, main power feeds, fuses and fusible links for corrosion, looseness or heat damage
- Inspect module connector(s) for corrosion, bent pins, water entry or loose terminals
- Measure battery voltage with key off and key on; check voltage under cranking and under load
- Check integrity of module ground(s; clean and torque to spec)
- Perform wiggle/strain test of wiring harness while monitoring voltage or live data to reproduce fault
Signal parameters
- Nominal supply expected: ~12–14.5 V with ignition ON; stable within ±0.5 V
- Intermittent drops below ~9–10 V or rapid voltage sag during load are indicative of a fault
- Spikes above normal charging voltage (>15.5–16 V) or high-frequency noise may indicate charging system or regulator issues
- Open circuit: near 0 V at module power pin with key ON; short to battery: constant battery voltage regardless of ignition state
- High series resistance: measured voltage lower at module than battery by >0.5–1.0 V under load
Diagnostic algorithm
- Connect a scan tool and record current and pending U-codes, freeze frame data and event counters
- Visually inspect battery, main power distribution, fuses, fusible links and relay related to Power B circuit
- With key ON, backprobe the module Power B input pin and measure voltage at rest and while cycling ignition; compare to battery voltage
- Check continuity and resistance between module power pin and the fuse/battery feed; repair any high resistance or open readings
- Inspect and clean module connectors; look for corrosion, bent pins, and secure latch engagement. Repair or replace connector as required
- Check module ground(s): disconnect, inspect, clean mating surfaces and verify low resistance (
- Perform wiggle test on wiring harness and connectors while monitoring voltage/live data to reproduce intermittent behavior
- If harness and connectors are good, check upstream components: ignition switch, relays, charging system for abnormal voltage or noise
- If wiring/power/ground and external components check good, check for available software updates and reprogram the module per manufacturer procedure
- If fault persists after wiring, connectors and software verified, consider module repair or replacement and follow proper programming and configuration steps
- After repairs, clear codes and perform a road test under conditions that previously produced the fault; re-scan and confirm issue resolved
Likely causes
- Loose or corroded connector pin at the module or fusebox
- Bad ground on the module or nearby grounding strap
- Partially open fuse or high resistance in fusible link
- Wiring damage in harness near wheel wells, doors, or engine bay where movement occurs
- Faulty ignition switch or relay feeding the circuit
Fault status
Status
Control Module Input Power B Circuit — Intermittent/Erratic detected on module power supply. Voltage supply is unstable or intermittent.
