Circuit Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Pontiac Pursuit and 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The body control module (BCM) monitors the OFF/RUN/CRANK signal from the ignition switch. The signal is zero when there is no key in the ignition cylinder. The signal is at the 12-volt reference level when a key is placed into the ignition cylinder. When the vehicle operator places the ignition switch in the Run position, the switch supplies +5 volts to the BCM OFF/RUN/CRANK input terminal. During a crank event, the +5 volt signal is passed through an internal resistor in the ignition switch for discrimination of the crank command. If the OFF/RUN/CRANK circuit becomes shorted to B+, ground or the circuit opens, DTC B1441 will set.
