- B1303 — Accessory Delay Relay Coil Circuit Open (B1303): a body electrical fault affecting the ignition system. Short, gentle driving to a shop is usually possible. Most often caused by moisture or oil in the spark plug wells, faulty ignition control circuit in the ECM, damaged coil wiring or connector.
- B1304 — Accessory Delay Relay Coil Circuit Short To Battery (B1304): a body electrical fault affecting the ignition system. Short, gentle driving to a shop is usually possible. Most often caused by damaged coil wiring or connector, failed ignition coil or coil pack, worn spark plugs or wrong plug gap.
- B1305 — Accessory Delay Relay Coil Circuit Short To Ground (B1305): a body electrical fault affecting the ignition system. Short, gentle driving to a shop is usually possible.

- B1316 — B1316 is a body electrical trouble code triggered when the control unit detects the battery saver relay coil circuit shorted to ground. The fault can cause hard starting, misfires, reduced power, and increased fuel consumption. Most cases are safe to drive short distances to a repair shop, but flashing CEL indicates you should stop immediately—ongoing misfires can destroy the catalytic converter.
- B1317 — B1317 — Battery Voltage High. A fault in the body electrical system. The car is usually drivable while you plan the repair. Typical causes: body control module (BCM) fault, corroded or loose connectors, faulty switch, motor or actuator of the affected system.
