Pinpoint Test E: B2A20 - Ignition Stuck In Start
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Lincoln MKX and 2007 Ford Edge. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
Use the Flex Probe Kit for all test connections to prevent damage to the wiring terminals. Do not use standard multi-meter probes.
NOTE:
Verify that battery voltage is 10 volts or greater.
- E1 CHECK THE IGNITION SWITCH MECHANICAL FUNCTION
- Inspect the ignition switch for mechanical function. Refer to the Ignition Switch - Mechanical .
- Is the ignition switch OK?
- YES : Go to E2.
- NO : INSTALL a new ignition switch. REFER to Ignition Switch . TEST the system for normal operation.
- E2 CHECK THE IGNITION SWITCH FOR A SHORT
- Carry out the Component Tests .
- Is the ignition switch OK?
- YES : Go to E3.
- NO : INSTALL a new ignition switch. REFER to Ignition Switch . CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
- E3 CHECK CIRCUIT CDC35 (BU/WH) FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
- Key in OFF position.
- Disconnect: Ignition Switch C250
- Disconnect: SJB C2280b
- Measure the voltage between ignition switch C250-7, circuit CDC35 (BU/WH), harness side and ground.
- Is any voltage present?

- YES : REPAIR circuit CDC35 (BU/WH). CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
- NO : Go to E4.
- E4 CHECK THE SJB FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
- Disconnect: SJB C2280e
- Measure the voltage between SJB C2280b-32, circuit CDC35 (BU/WH), component side and ground.
- Is any voltage present?
- E5 CHECK CIRCUIT CDC35 (BU/WH) FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
- Measure the voltage between SJB C2280e-8, circuit CDC35 (BU/WH), harness side and ground.
- Is any voltage present?

- E6 ISOLATE THE STARTER RELAY
- Disconnect: Starter Relay
- Measure the voltage between SJB C2280e-8, circuit CDC35 (BU/WH), harness side and ground.
- Is any voltage present?
Courtesy of FORD MOTOR CO.
- YES : Go to E7.
- NO : INSTALL a new starter relay. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
- E7 ISOLATE THE PCM
- Disconnect: PCM C175b
- Measure the voltage between SJB C2280e-8, circuit CDC35 (BU/WH), harness side and ground.
- Is any voltage present?
Courtesy of FORD MOTOR CO.
- YES : REPAIR circuit CDC35 (BU/WH). CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
- NO : INSTALL a new PCM. Refer to ENGINE SYSTEM - GENERAL INFORMATION for the procedure. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
- E8 CHECK FOR CORRECT SJB OPERATION
- Check SJB connectors C2280b and C2280e for:
- corrosion.
- pushed-out pins.
- spread terminal.
- Connect: SJB C2280b
- Connect: SJB C2280e
- Make sure the connectors are 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 . CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
- NO : The system is operating correctly at this time. Concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector.
- Check SJB connectors C2280b and C2280e for:
