Hello,

Recently I noticed the B1330 code (ForScan shows it as "B1330:01-08" from BCM - Body Control Module) logged by my 2017 F150 Lariat. I went to the dealer for another reasons and told them to look into this too. Not surprisingly, they only found how much to charge me for the diagnostics, but not the source of the code. They literally just removed the code, started the truck and after 2 minutes (and 1 hour of labour, of course) concluded that nothing was wrong. Today, about 2 weeks later I have noticed that the code was back.

Personally I do not see any issues, everything seems to be working fine - all electrical components seem to be fine. The battery is certainly healthy enough because *** works well. I doubt the dealer will find anything. The warranty expires in a couple of days (conveniently ). I am wondering if anyone can recommend what to look at. I found something about it in http://ford.automotive-manuals.com/f...dsg1556234.htm - is this the right direction? Can it be something completely outside of the AC circuit, like a short or water in a light etc?

I rarely use the AC outlets. I have just tested both - they seem fine. I plugged a 300W heat fan into the 400W one, worked fine. Both outlets have yellow light - I do not recall, is yellow the normal color or not? I tried to plug a small circuit tester that I use at home to test the 110V outlets and this tester shows "open ground" - but I never tried it on these outlets so, again, maybe this is normal?

 

I notice you have a rear door latch issue in another post.
The body code >without< the .01.08 refers to a rear door latch issue.
Maybe associated if the dash door ajar is lighted.
Good luck.

 

Those are made for house circuits and therefor look for an earth ground. The one in your truck is grounded on the DC side and the "ground" prong hole is only there to accommodate three prong plugs. The LED should remain solid amber if working correctly. If it's blinking that's when you have an issue such as an overload. Can you use a multimeter and get a voltage reading from the outlet?

 

B1330:01-08

B1330 is the base DTC and tells you it is an issue with the DC/AC Inverter Module.
:01 the subtype failure and tells you it is a "General Electrical Failure".
-08 is an occurrence counter in hexadecimal and tells you it has occurred 8 times.

The pinpoint tests in the WSM have you checking for the proper DC input voltage to the inverter and proper ground for the module as well as the AC side. Maybe look at the power supply and ground wires. It could be a loose or bent terminal connection in the connector. Check the wire connections on the High Amperage BJB fuses making sure they are clean and tight. One of them is for the DC/AC Inverter.

 

It shows 94V AC. If it makes a difference - right after the cold start. The light is solid amber for both outlets - near the front passenger seat and in the back.

According to the article linked above that's the typical output voltage from these outlets. Have you tried what 52Merc suggested?

 

Yes, in that thread the guys says:

For what 52Merc suggested - not yet. I do not have a garage and at -12C with strong wind I do not feel like doing anything outside

By the way, I did not know what "-08" means and thanks to 52Merc, now I do. I find it really odd that both times I had this code, both times it was exactly 8. I think I need to try to better understand when does it happen. I will try to erase this code now (hopefully, ForScan can do that) and then check for this code frequently to see how soon it will reappear and maybe I will be able to correlate it to something else - like rain?

For now one of the theories I have - in January a Ford dealer worked on the leaking sunroof. They took apart the entire right pillar, removed the fuse block. They also almost completely destroyed my dashcam connection - I had BlackVue PowerMagic Pro installed there, very carefully wired using the fuse taps and it all worked for almost 5 years without any issues. Not only the dealer disconnected it by destroying the PowerMagic connector (ripping off the cable and damaging the connector), but they just pushed all this stuff back under the plastic cover and returned me the truck without even mentioning it. I have noticed that the camera did not work, noticed the missing power adapter. Argued with the dealer, they just threatened me to never work on my truck again...actually, now thinking about it, maybe it was a sign from the above? Now I am wondering if this fuse panel, passenger side, bottom, right, has anything to do with these codes showing up. I have fixed PowerMagic since then, the camera works.
