Pinpoint Test D: No Power in START: Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mercury Montego, 2005 Ford Freestyle, and 2005 Ford Five Hundred. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. D1 CHECK CIRCUITS 1050 (LG/VT) AND 1522 (DG) FOR VOLTAGE 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Disconnect: Smart Junction Box (SJB) C2280b.
    • Key in ACCESSORY position.
    • Measure the voltage between the SJB C2280b-32, circuit 1050 (LG/VT), harness side and ground; and between the SJB C2280b-30, circuit 1522 (DG), harness side and ground.

    • Are the voltages greater than 10 volts? 
    • Yes  : GO to  D4.
    • No  : GO to D2.
  2. D2 CHECK CIRCUIT 1522 (DG) FOR AN OPEN OR A SHORT TO GROUND 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Disconnect: Ignition Switch C250.
    • Measure the resistance between the SJB C2208b-30, circuit 1522 (DG), harness side and the ignition switch C250-7, circuit 1522 (DG), harness side; and between the SJB C2208b-30, circuit 1522 (DG), harness side, and ground.

    • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms between the SJB and the ignition switch, and greater than 10,000 ohms between the SJB and ground? 
    • Yes  : GO to D3.
    • No  : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
  3. D3 CHECK CIRCUIT 1050 (LG/VT) FOR AN OPEN OR A SHORT TO GROUND 
    • Measure the resistance between the ignition switch C250-1, circuit 1050 (LG/VT), harness side, and the SJB C2208b-32, circuit 1050 (LG/VT), harness side; and between the SJB C2208b-32, circuit 1050 (LG/VT), harness side, and ground.

    • Are the resistances less than 5 ohms between the SJB and the ignition switch, and greater than 10,000 ohms between the SJB and ground? 
    • Yes  : INSTALL a new ignition switch. REFER to IGNITION SWITCH . TEST the system for normal operation.
    • No  : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
  4. D4 CHECK FOR CORRECT SJB OPERATION 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Disconnect all the SJB connectors.
    • Check for:
      • corrosion
      • pushed-out pins
    • Connect all the SJB connectors and make sure they are seated correctly.
    • Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
    • Is the concern still present? 
    • Yes  : INSTALL a new SJB. REFER to MULTIFUNCTION ELECTRONIC MODULES . REPEAT the self-test.
    • No  : The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. TEST the system for normal operation.
