Circuit/System Testing

IMPORTANT: You must perform the Circuit/System Verification before proceeding with Circuit/System Testing.
  1. Inspect the Ign Switch fuse for open. The fuse should be OK.
    • If the fuse is open, test the following circuits for a short to ground, if all circuits test OK, replace the BCM.
      • Battery positive voltage of the ignition switch
      • Accessory voltage
      • Off/Run crank voltage
      • Ignition 1 voltage
  2. Disconnect the ignition switch connector.
  3. Test for battery positive voltage between the battery positive voltage circuit of the ignition switch and ground.
    • If less than battery positive voltage, repair the circuit for an open/high resistance
  4. IMPORTANT: The ignition switch component test must be preformed before proceeding with this test to verify the integrity of the switch.
  5. Perform the ignition switch component test.
    • If the ignition switch fails, replace the ignition switch.
  6. Ignition OFF, disconnect BCM connector C1, test for less than 1 volt between the following circuits of the BCM and ground.
  7. Ignition key out, test for less than 1 volt between the following circuits of the BCM and ground.
    • Ignition key resistor signal
    • Off/Run crank
    • Accessory voltage
    • Ignition 1 voltage
    • If more than 1 volt, repair the circuit for a short to voltage.
  8. Test for less than 1 ohm of resistance between the BCM and the ignition switch on the following circuits.
    • Ignition key resistor signal
    • Off/Run crank
    • Accessory voltage
    • Ignition 1 voltage
    • If greater than 5 ohms, repair the circuit for open/high resistance
  9. Test for infinite resistance between the ignition key resistor signal circuit of the BCM and ground.
    • If less than infinite resistance, repair the signal circuit for a short to ground.
  10. Replace the BCM.
