- Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?
1. Yes : INSTALL a new multifunction switch. REFER to STEERING COLUMN SWITCHES . TEST the system for normal operation.
2. No : GO to E2.
E2 CHECK CIRCUIT 196 (DB/OG) FOR AN OPEN
- Disconnect: SJB C2280b.
- Measure the resistance between the multifunction switch C202b pin 6 circuit 196 (DB/OG), harness side and the SJB C2280b pin 1, circuit 196 (DB/OG), harness side.

- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
1. Yes : GO to E3.
2. No : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
E3 CHECK FOR CORRECT SJB OPERATION
- Key in OFF position.
- Disconnect all SJB connectors.
- Check for:
  - Corrosion
  - Pushed-out pins
- Connect all SJB connectors and make sure they seat correctly.
- Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
- Is the concern still present?
1. Yes : INSTALL a new SJB. REFER to MULTIFUNCTION ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES . TEST the system for normal operation.
2. No : The system is operating correctly at this time. Concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
