Ok @claybeatz here my diagnosis. Than we will prove them out. If at any point you dont understand my suggestions STOP!!! and ask me questions!!!! I really need to scan the BCM-B and PCM for pinpoint diagnosis but I obviously cant. So were gonna do this old school way. PLEASE FOLLOW THESE STEPS DIRECTLY AS I SUGGEST THEM AS WE STEP THRU THIS PROCESS. I NEED THE CORRECT INFO TO PROCEED!!!!!

My Diagnosis:

- BCM-B REVERSING LAMP OUTPUT HAS A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
-YOU lOST YOUR BCM-B MODULE
-
REVERSING LAMP SWITCH INPUT CIRCUIT HAS A SHORT TO GROUND
- YOU LOST YOUR PCM

* I hope this not the outcome but if you lost your BCM-B or PCM you will have to go to the dealership to have them install and load the firmware (NO WAY AROUND THIS) I could do this for you if I was at your location but I am obviously not. I have all the proper tools as the dealership to provide that type of service.

LETS START!!!

1. First i want you to reattach the reverseing switch connector securely to the switch (Make sure its snug). Rescan your car again and tell me if you get the code fault (BCM-B DTC B1272:15) or a powertrain fault P????. I will wait for a response than move on. I will respond again as soon as I can!!!

Vinnie, l pulled the allsync xg that the previous owner had installed as well as the backup camera and radar system out since all that stuff was installed poorly and super outdated, plugged the reverse switch back in, and that fixed it!

Excellent @claybeatz! I'm really glad for you and was hoping it was just some bad wiring resulting in something shorting to ground more than likely. Congrats on the fix clay!! (y)
