What Does the B1441 Cadillac Code Mean?

The vehicle Power Mode Master (PMM) is the Body Control Module (BCM). The ignition switch is a low-current switch with multiple discrete circuits to the BCM. The BCM logic uses the ignition switch positions to identify the operator's desired power mode and activate specific discrete signals, and serial data messages for the operation of different subsystems as necessary. Other modules which have switched voltage inputs may operate in a default mode if the Power Mode Master serial data message does not match what the individual module can detect from its own connections.
The Power Mode Master will activate relays and other direct outputs of the Power Mode Master as needed according to the calculated power mode. Some relays controlled by the BCM are switched ignition voltage outputs that are pass-through circuits within the BCM directly from the ignition switch. If these circuits are short to ground, the B+ circuit fuse to the ignition switch will open.
