Table 1: Device Power Moding

Circuit Description

Normal vehicle Class 2 communications will not commence until the system power mode has been identified. Four discrete wires from the ignition switch contacts are monitored by the dash integration module (DIM) in order to determine the present power mode. The DIM communicates the system power mode to all Class 2 modules on the Class 2 serial data line.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The DIM must be powered.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

One of the 4 monitored ignition switch circuits is open or shorted.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The DIM implements default actions for each ignition switch position when faults are detected.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC
    • A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present.
    • A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold, without a repeat of the malfunction.

Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. This step tests for a short to battery voltage on the active signal circuit.

    2.

  2. This step tests the inactive signal circuit for an open or a high resistance.

    3.

  3. If any ignition switch parameters that should be inactive in the present ignition switch position are active, 2 ignition switch signal circuits may be shorted together.

  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Disconnect the ignition switch.
  3. With a scan tool, observe the ignition switch parameters.

Do all of the ignition switch parameters display Inactive?

Go to Step 13

Go to Step 10

8

  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Disconnect the dash integration module (DIM).
  3. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  4. Connect a test lamp between the inactive signal circuit and a good ground.

Does the test lamp illuminate?

Go to Step 14

Go to Step 11

Do any other ignition switch parameters also indicate Active when the parameter should be Inactive?

Go to Step 12

Go to Step 13

10

Test the active signal circuit of the ignition switch for a short to voltage. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.

Did you find and correct the condition?

Go to Step 17

Go to Step 14

11

Test the inactive signal circuit of the ignition switch for an open or high resistance. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.

Did you find and correct the condition?

Go to Step 17

Go to Step 13

12

Test the active signal circuit of the ignition switch for a short to another signal circuit of the ignition switch. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.

Did you find and correct the condition?

Go to Step 17

Go to Step 13
