Pinpoint Test

  1. CHECK THE BCM FOR DTCs 
    1. Ignition ON.
    2. Using a scan tool, perform BCM self-test.

    Is DTC B1310:14 present? 

    1. Yes:  GO to  4.
    2. No  : For BCM DTCs  , REFER to DTC CHART: BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) .

      If no DTCs  are present, GO to .

  2. CHECK FOR RUN VOLTAGE AT THE BCM
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Disconnect: BCM C2280B.
    3. Ignition ON.
    4. Measure:
      BCM Ground
      G08028298
      G08028299
      C2280B Ground
      Pin Circuit Measurement / Action Pin Circuit
      29 CDC34 (WH/OG)
      G08028300
      - Ground

    Is the voltage greater than 11 volts? 

    1. Yes:  GO to  4.
    2. No  : GO to .
  3. CHECK THE IGNITION RUN CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Disconnect: Ignition Switch.
    3. Measure:
      BCM Ignition Switch
      G08028301
      G08028302
      C2280B C250
      Pin Circuit Measurement / Action Pin Circuit
      29 CDC34 (WH/OG)
      G08028303
      1 CDC34 (WH/OG)

    Is the resistance less than 3 ohms? 

    1. Yes:  INSTALL a new ignition switch. REFER to Ignition Switch .
    2. No  : REPAIR the circuit.
  4. CHECK THE RUN/START RELAY
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Remove the 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.
  5. CHECK THE VOLTAGE TO THE RUN/START RELAY COIL
    1. Measure:
      BJB Ground
      G08028304
      G08028305
      RUN/START relay Ground
      Pin Circuit Measurement / Action Pin Circuit
      2 SBB87 (WH/RD)
      G08028306
      - Ground

    Is the voltage greater than 11 volts? 

    1. Yes:  GO to .
    2. No  : VERIFY BJB fuse 87 (5A) is OK. If OK, REPAIR the circuit. If not OK, REFER to the appropriate wiring diagrams to identify the possible causes of the circuit short. REFER to OEM FUSE AND RELAY INFORMATION and OEM WIRING DIAGRAMS .
  6. CHECK THE RUN/START RELAY CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Disconnect: BCM C2280F.
    3. Measure:
      BJB BCM
      G08028304
      G08028308
      RUN/START relay C2280F
      Pin Circuit Measurement / Action Pin Circuit
      1 CDC55 (BN/VT)
      G08028309
      18 CDC55 (BN/VT)

    Is the resistance less than 3 ohms? 

    1. Yes:  GO to .
    2. No  : REPAIR the circuit.
  7. CHECK THE RUN/START RELAY CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
    1. Measure:
      BCM Ground
      G08028310
      G08028311
      C2280F Ground
      Pin Circuit Measurement / Action Pin Circuit
      18 CDC55 (BN/VT)
      G08028312
      - Ground

    Is the resistance greater than 10, 000 ohms? 

    1. Yes:  GO to .
    2. No  : REPAIR the circuit.
  8. CHECK FOR CORRECT BCM OPERATION
    1. Disconnect and inspect all BCM connectors.
    2. Repair:
      • corrosion (install new connector or terminal - 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.
