P0231 Diagnosis

The output circuits that are powered by VBAT3 will all be inoperative. Other fault codes may be present, but troubleshoot for this first. The fuse in the main PDM powering this circuit may be open.The BHM is detecting more than one smart switch with the same ID number present on the vehicle. The outputs controlled by the switch and the indicator in the switch are commanded OFF.

The top-of-clutch switch and bottom-of-clutch switch are both measured as closed at the same time. Troubleshoot for clutch switch shorted, or for a wiring fault between the clutch switch and the BHM.

A code is a fault code and it indicates that something has gone wrong with your car's engine.

It can be caused by many different problems, including a faulty battery, a bad fuel pump, or even a cracked exhaust manifold.

You will need to diagnose the problem before you can fix it. The best way to do this is with an OBD scanner tool.

A scan tool will tell you what needs fixing and how much it will cost in order to fix that particular issue.
