About B2114

B2114 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 B2114 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 B2114 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) monitors the front washer request switch input through a dedicated signal circuit. DTC B2114 sets when the BCM detects the front washer input voltage has dropped to ground potential while it should be sitting at a normal pull up reference voltage. The front washer switch is typically integrated into the multifunction wiper stalk on the steering column and is grounded momentarily by the driver to command the washer pump. When this fault is active the washer pump may run continuously, run when not requested, or be disabled entirely by the BCM as a safety strategy to...
