CHECK INTERMITTENT CONDITION
NOTE:
Verify that the battery is fully charged with a DVOM and use the scan tool to compare the Battery Voltage listed under "Data" in the RFH View to that of the BCM. If the battery is not fully charged, correct this condition before proceeding.

NOTE:
Perform any Radio Frequency Hub (RFH) Module LIN bus communication DTC's before continuing.
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. Using the scan tool, record and erase the DTCs.
3. Turn the ignition off and wait 30 seconds.
4. Turn the ignition on and attempt to start the engine.

  Does the scan tool display the B1A7B-62-IMMOBILIZER ANTENNA (KIN/IGNM)-SIGNAL COMPARE FAILURE as an ACTIVE fault?
  
  Yes
  - Go to 2
  No
  - If equipped with a Keyless Ignition Node (KIN), replace it in accordance with Service Information. Refer to MODULE, KEYLESS IGNITION NODE, REMOVAL .
  - If equipped with an Ignition Node Module (IGNM), replace it in accordance with Service Information.
  - Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
(G20) IGNITION RUN / START SWITCH SENSE CIRCUIT SHORTED TO VOLTAGE
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the Ignition Node Module (IGNM) connector.
3. Check the G20 Ignition Run / Start Switch Sense circuit for a short to voltage.
  Is there any voltage present?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the (G20) Ignition Run / Start Switch Sense circuit for a short to voltage.
  - Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
  No
  - Go to 3
(G20) IGNITION RUN / START SWITCH SENSE CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND
1. Measure the resistance between ground and the (G20) Ignition Run / Start Switch Sense circuit.
  Is the resistance below 10K Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the (G20) Ignition Run / Start Switch Sense circuit for a short to ground.
  - Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
  No
  - Go to 4
CHECK THE (G20) IGNITION RUN / START SWITCH SENSE CIRCUIT
