1. No power at multiple fuses in the RUN position.

Circuit/System Description

The body control module (BCM) controls the RUN relay through the run relay coil control circuit by applying voltage to the coil side of the relay. The RUN relay is energized when any of the following conditions are true:

    • Ignition Switch is in ACC or RUN.
    • The vehicle was remote started.
    • The vehicle is in retained accessory power (RAP) mode.

Conditions for Running the DTC
    • The system voltage is between 9-16 volts.
    • The DTC can only set when the output is actively being requested by the module.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The DTC will set only when the module requests the output and there is a short to ground in the run relay coil control circuit.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The module output driver will be shut down and not supply voltage to the circuit.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC
    • The current DTC will clear when the module request for the output is removed or the malfunction is no longer present.
    • A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold of 50, without a repeat of the malfunction.

Diagnostic Aids

A short to voltage may cause some accessories to operate with the ignition key out and cause a low battery after extended non vehicle use.

Circuit/System Testing
  1. With the ignition OFF, disconnect the RUN relay.
  2. Connect a test lamp between the relay coil control circuit terminal and ground.
  3. Cycle the ignition ON and OFF. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing ignition switch positions.
    4. ⇒If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
    ⇒If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to ground or open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
  4. If the test lamp illuminates normal, test or replace the Run relay.

Component Testing

Rap Relay Test

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the RUN relay.
  2. Test for 70-110 ohms of resistance between terminals 85 and 86.
    3. ⇒If the resistance is not within the specified range, replace the relay.
  3. Test for infinite resistance between the following terminals:
    4. • 30 and 86
    • 30 and 87
    • 30 and 85
    • 85 and 87
    ⇒If less than the specified range, replace the relay.
  4. Install a 20-amp fused jumper wire between relay terminal 85 and 12 volts. Install a jumper wire between relay terminal 86 and ground. Test for less than 5 ohms between terminals 30 and 87.
    5. ⇒If greater than the specified range, replace the relay.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
