Circuit/System Testing
- If the retained accessory power system operation is incorrect, refer to Retained Accessory Power Malfunction .
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the ignition lock cylinder control actuator.
- Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the ground circuit terminal 1 and B+.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 2 and ground.
- Ignition ON, place the transmission shift selector in PARK then out of PARK. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between PARK then out of PARK.
- If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the ignition lock cylinder control switch.
- If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit, and the ignition lock cylinder control switch accessory voltage circuit for a short to ground or open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, test or replace the ignition lock cylinder control switch.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the ignition lock cylinder control actuator.
