B2113 — Heated Windshield Input Short to Ground

System: Body  |  Type: Generic (OBD-II Standard)  |  Make: Ford

About B2113

B2113 is a generic (obd-ii standard) 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 B2113 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.

Because B2113 is a generic OBD-II code, its base definition is shared across manufacturers. The specific diagnostic steps, reference values, and repair procedures can vary by vehicle, and the TaT Diagnostic Assistant includes verified procedures submitted by working technicians.

Code Information

The Body Control Module (BCM) or Generic Electronic Module monitors the heated windshield request switch input through a dedicated signal circuit. DTC B2113 sets when the BCM detects that the heated windshield input voltage has dropped to ground potential while the input should be at a normal pull up voltage level. The heated windshield system uses a fine resistive element laminated in the front glass to clear ice and fog on demand from the driver. When this code is set, the heated windshield function will typically be disabled by the module, and the indicator light on the switch may either fa...
