Pinpoint Test D: No Power In Start

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Ford Pickup, 2010 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2010 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2010 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Use the Flex Probe Kit for all test connections to prevent damage to the wiring terminals. Do not use standard multi-meter probes.
  1. D1 CHECK THE IGNITION SWITCH 
    • Yes:  GO to D2  .
    • No:  INSTALL a new ignition switch. REFER to IGNITION SWITCH . TEST the system for normal operation.
  2. D2 CHECK CIRCUIT CDC34 (WH/OG) FOR AN OPEN 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect: Ignition Switch C250.
    • Disconnect: SJB  C2280B.
    • Disconnect: Run/Start Relay.
    • Measure the resistance between ignition switch C250-1, circuit CDC34 (WH/OG), harness side and SJB  C2280B-45, circuit CDC34 (WH/OG), harness side.

    • Are the resistances less than 5 ohms? 
    • Yes:  GO to D3  .
    • No:  REPAIR circuit CDC34 (WH/OG). TEST the system for normal operation.
  3. D3 CHECK FOR VOLTAGE AT THE RUN/START RELAY 
    • Measure the voltage between run/start relay cavity 30 and ground.

    • Is the voltage greater than 10 volts? 
    • Yes:  GO to D4  .
    • No:  VERIFY BJB  fuse 46 (40A) is OK. If OK, INSTALL a new BJB  . TEST the system for normal operation.
  4. D4 CHECK CIRCUIT GD113 (BK/YE) FOR AN OPEN 
    • Measure the resistance between run/start relay cavity 86, circuit GD113 (BK/YE) and ground.

    • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 
    • Yes:  GO to D5  .
    • No:  REPAIR circuit GD113 (BK/YE). TEST the system for normal operation.
  5. D5 CHECK THE RUN/START RELAY 
    • Yes:  GO to D6  .
    • No:  INSTALL a new relay. TEST the system for normal operation.
  6. D6 CHECK CIRCUIT CDC35 (BU/WH) FOR AN OPEN 
    • Disconnect: SJB  C2280E (all engines).
    • Disconnect: PCM C1332B (diesel with OTIS  ).
    • Disconnect: PCM C175T (gasoline only).
    • For diesel engine vehicles  , measure the resistance between ignition switch C250-10, circuit CDC35 (BU/WH), harness side and SJB  C1232B-26, circuit CDC35 (BU/WH), harness side.

    • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 
    • Yes:  GO to D7  .
    • No:  REPAIR circuit CDC35 (BU/WH). TEST the system for normal operation.
  7. D7 CHECK THE SJB CONNECTOR 
    • Check SJB  C2280B for:
      • corrosion.
      • pushed-out pins.
      • spread terminals.
    • Connect: SJB  C2280B.
    • Make sure the connector is seated correctly, then 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 . TEST the system for normal operation.
    • No:  The system is operating correctly at this time. Concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector.
