Table 1: Correct Ignition Switch Inputs

Circuit Description

The body control module (BCM) monitors the ignition inputs Ignition Off/Run/Crank, Ignition 1 Run/Crank and the Ignition Accessory signals supplied from the ignition switch. The BCM uses the sequence that the signals appear, their voltage levels and the engine run flag (ERF) status to determine the power mode. Battery voltage is supplied to the ignition switch by a fuse in the underhood fuse block. The Run/Crank voltage circuit energizes the Run/Crank relay. The following table shows the correct ignition switch signals:

DTC Descriptors

This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTCs:

    • DTC B1372 Device Ignition 1 ON and START Circuit Low
    • DTC B1373 Device Ignition 1 ON and START Circuit High

Conditions for Running the DTC

Battery voltage is 9-16 volts.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

DTC B1372

The BCM detects that the Run/Crank voltage circuit is open or shorted to ground for at least 1 second.

DTC B1373

The BCM detects that the Run/Crank signal is shorted to voltage for at least 1 second.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
    • The BCM stores DTC B1372 or B1373 in memory.
    • The BCM determines a fail-safe power mode dependent on the last valid power mode detected and the state of the ERF.

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.

  1. Install a scan tool.
  2. Observe the Ignition 1 Run/Crank parameter with the scan tool.
  3. Turn the ignition to all positions and compare the parameter to the correct ignition switch inputs table above.

Does the Ignition 1 Run/Crank parameter display correctly?

Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections

Go to Step 3

  1. Place the ignition switch in the OFF position, leaving the key in the ignition.
  2. Disconnect the body control module (BCM) harness connector 2.
  3. Probe the Run/Crank circuit with a test lamp connected to a good ground.
  4. Probe the Run/Crank circuit with a test lamp connected to B+.

Does the test lamp illuminate for either test?

Go to Step 7

Go to Step 4

  1. Turn the ignition switch to the RUN position.
  2. Probe the Run/Crank circuit at the BCM connector 2 with a test lamp connected to a good ground.
  3. Turn the ignition switch to CRANK.

Does the test lamp illuminate in both RUN and CRANK?

Go to Step 5

Go to Step 8

  1. Turn the ignition OFF.
  2. Disconnect the BCM harness connector 1.
  3. Probe the Run/Crank circuit in the connector with a test lamp connected to a good ground.
  4. Probe the Run/Crank circuit with a test lamp connected to B+.

Does the test lamp illuminate for either test?
