Condition/Concern
Technicians may find B101D F0 set in the BCM after a dead battery event.
The rare condition that sets B101D F0 is an extreme dead battery case. It is NOT the cause of the dead battery, but the extreme low voltage is a trigger that
causes this DTC to set.
Recommendation/Instructions
If DTC B101D SYM F0 is set current in the BCM, technicians should perform the following:
1. Clear the DTCs. If DTC B101D SYM F0 clears with no other symptoms, DO NOT replace the BCM. No further action is required. It is a known falsely
set DTC and does not cause any customer concerns.
2. If the B101D SYM F0 resets, ensure the BCM is awake (open the driver's door) then disconnect the battery, wait 5 seconds, then reconnect the
battery. In some cases, this may recover the BCM allowing the clearing of the malfunction code.
If either of the above procedures allows for the clearing of the malfunction code B101D Sym F0, the BCM should not be replaced.

GM bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, NOT a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform these technicians of conditions that may
occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools,
safety instructions, and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, DO NOT assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that
your vehicle will have that condition. See your GM dealer for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
