Table 1: Correct Ignition Switch Inputs and Power Modes

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 the IGN TRANSD fuse. The ignition key resistor signal from the BCM provides a 5-volt supply voltage to the ignition switch. The table below shows the correct ignition switch inputs and power modes.

DEFINITION: This table is used if the observed vehicle power mode does not match the ignition switch position.

1

Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle?

Go to Step 2

Go to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle

2

Important: The engine may start during this procedure. Turn the ignition OFF after verifying this power mode.

  1. With a scan tool, under the Diagnostic Circuit Check menu observe the Class 2 Power Mode parameter.
  2. Turn the ignition to all positions and compare the parameter to the correct ignition switch inputs table above.

Does the scan tool display the correct power mode?

Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections

Go to Step 3

3

Important: The engine may start during this procedure. Turn the ignition OFF after verifying this power mode.

  1. Observe the Crank Voltage parameter with the scan tool.
  2. Turn the ignition to all positions and compare the parameter to the values from the table above.
  3. Observe the Ignition Off/Run/Crank parameter with the scan tool.
  4. Turn the ignition to all positions and compare the parameter to the correct ignition switch inputs table above.

Do the voltage displayed for Crank Voltage and the Ignition Off/Run/Crank signal match the values from the table above?

Go to Step 4

Go to DTC B1441, B1442, or B1443 and use that procedure to diagnose the concern

4

Important: The engine may start during this procedure. Turn the ignition OFF after verifying this power mode.

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

Does the Ignition 1 Run/Crank signal display correctly?

Go to Step 5

Go to DTC B1372, B1373, or B1374 and use that procedure to diagnose the concern

5

Important: The engine may start during this procedure. Turn the ignition OFF after verifying this power mode.

  1. Observe the Ignition Accessory parameter with the scan tool.
  2. Turn the ignition to all positions and compare the parameter to the correct ignition switch inputs table above.

Does the Ignition Accessory signal display correctly?

Go to Step 6

Go to DTC B1382, B1383, or B1384 and use that procedure to diagnose the concern

6
  1. Disconnect the body control module (BCM).
  2. Inspect for poor connections and terminal tension at the harness connector of the BCM. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs .

Did you find and correct the condition?

Go to Step 8

Go to Step 7

7

Replace the BCM. Refer to Control Module References for replacement, setup, and programming.

Did you complete the replacement?

Go to Step 8

8

Important: The engine may start during this procedure. Turn the ignition OFF after verifying all power modes.

  1. Reconnect all disconnected components.
  2. With a scan tool, under the Diagnostic Circuit Check menu observe the Class 2 Power Mode parameter.
  3. Cycle the ignition switch through all possible positions one at a time.

Does the displayed power mode parameter match the actual ignition switch position?

System OK
