B1982 (60) — Driver Door Unlock Relay Circuit Error

System: Body  |  Type: Manufacturer-Specific  |  Make: Ford

About B1982

B1982 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 B1982 is stored, the module has detected an electrical-circuit fault in the wiring, connector, or driver associated with the named component.

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.

B1982 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 Body Control Module (BCM) on Ford vehicles drives the driver door unlock relay circuit during keyless entry, key fob, central locking, and crash unlock events. On most Ford applications this relay is integrated within the BCM or Smart Junction Box (SJB) as a solid state high side or low side driver, while older platforms may use a discrete plug in relay. DTC B1982:60 (signal performance) is set when the BCM detects that the actual voltage feedback on the unlock output does not match the commanded state, for example the output reads low when commanded high, or remains stuck active when the ...
