Pinpoint Test

  1. CHECK THE KEY POSITION FOR START INDICATED (START_KEY) PID
    1. Ignition ON.
    2. Using a scan tool, view the PCM PIDs  .
    3. Monitor the PCM PID START_KEY.
    4. Momentarily turn the key to START and release it.

    Does the PID read On when the ignition is in the START position? 

    1. Yes:  REFER to Diagnostic Routine A: Engine Does Not Crank (Without Intelligent Access) .
    2. No  : GO to .
  2. CHECK FOR VOLTAGE TO THE BCM AND PCM
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Disconnect: BCM C2280B.
    3. Disconnect: PCM C175B.
    4. With the ignition switch in the START position, measure:
      BCM Ground
      G08028313
      G08028314
      C2280B Ground
      Pin Circuit Measurement / Action Pin Circuit
      47 CDC35 (BU/WH)
      G08028315
      - Ground

    Is the voltage greater than 11 volts? 

    1. Yes:  GO to  4.
    2. No  : GO to .
  3. CHECK THE IGNITION START CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Disconnect: Ignition Switch.
    3. Measure:
      Ignition Switch BCM
      G08028316
      G08028317
      C250 C2280B
      Pin Circuit Measurement / Action Pin Circuit
      7 CDC35 (BU/WH)
      G08028318
      47 CDC35 (BU/WH)

    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 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.
