    2. No  : REFER to Diagnostic Routine E : No Power in RUN-No Power in START - Vehicles with a Start-Stop Switch.
  2. CHECK THE ACCESSORY DELAY RELAY
    1. Disconnect: Accessory Delay Relay.
    2. Carry out the appropriate relay component test.

      Refer to OEM Wiring Diagrams - COMPONENT TESTING for schematic and connector information.

    Does the relay pass the test? 

    1. Yes:  GO to .
    2. No  : INSTALL a new accessory delay relay.
  3. VERIFY BCM FUSE 10 (10A)

    4. Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.

    Is the concern still present? 

    1. Yes:  CHECK OASIS  for any applicable TSBs  . If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW TSB instructions. If no TSBs  address this concern, INSTALL a new BCM. REFER to BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) - WITHOUT INTELLIGENT ACCESS (IA) , or REFER to BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) - WITH INTELLIGENT ACCESS (IA) .
    2. No  : The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by module connections. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
