Pinpoint Test

  1. CHECK THE RUN/START RELAY
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Disconnect: RUN/START Relay.
    3. Carry out the appropriate relay component test.

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

    Is the relay OK? 

    1. Yes:  GO to .
    2. No  : INSTALL a new RUN/START relay.
  2. CHECK THE RUN/START RELAY CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
    1. Measure:
      BJB Ground
      G08028304
      G08028392
      RUN/START relay Ground
      Pin Circuit Measurement / Action Pin Circuit
      1 CDC55 (BN/VT)
      G08028393
      - Ground

    Is any voltage present? 

    1. Yes:  REPAIR the circuit.
    2. No  : GO to .
  3. CHECK FOR CORRECT BCM OPERATION
    1. Disconnect and inspect all BCM connectors.
    2. Repair:
      • corrosion (install new connector or terminals - clean module pins)
      • damaged or bent pins - install new terminals/pins
      • pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary
    3. Reconnect the BCM connectors and all previously disconnected exterior system connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.
    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.
