About B1341

B1341 is a manufacturer-specific body diagnostic trouble code recorded for Ford vehicles. It belongs to the B-prefix family of codes, which covers body, interior, airbag, or comfort-electronics faults.

When B1341 is stored, the module has detected a short-circuit (voltage pulled to ground or to supply) in the monitored circuit.

Scanning & clearing: Body (B) codes are often stored in the body control module, airbag module, or climate module. A basic OBD-II tool usually will not read body codes — an enhanced or OEM-level scan tool is typically required.

B1341 is a manufacturer-specific code. The same code string on a different make may have a different meaning. Always confirm the code's definition against the vehicle's service information for the specific make and model under test.

Code Information

The power door unlock circuit is a Body Control Module (BCM) controlled output that energises the unlock side of the door lock actuators when the driver presses the unlock switch, uses the remote keyless entry transmitter, or when the BCM commands an automatic unlock such as on collision detection or shifter into park. The BCM monitors this output for fault conditions including overcurrent, open circuit, and short to ground. DTC B1341 sets when the BCM detects that the unlock control circuit is shorted to ground when it should be at battery voltage during the unlock command, or when the output...
