When the ignition key is seated in the ignition switch, the key-in-ignition switch contacts close grounding circuit 80. The body control module (BCM) monitors the state of the key-in-ignition switch, the state of the ignition switch (OFF, ACCY or RUN), and the driver's door to control the key-in-ignition chime.

DTC Parameters

    • Ignition in RUN position
    • Circuit 80 open
    • Conditions exist for 1 second

Diagnostic Aids

    • Check for a poor connection at the BCM. Inspect the harness connectors for backed out terminals, improper terminal mating, broken connector locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals, and poor terminal-to-wire connection, terminal crimped over wire insulation and not conductors.
    • Inspect the wiring harness for damage. Check for broken or chaffed insulation.
    • Check for poor connections at the ignition switch.
    • If the fault is suspected to be intermittent, wiggling the harness wiring may help in locating the fault.
