Pinpoint Test

  1. CHECK THE POWER OUTLET LED STATUS
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Start the engine.
    3. Check the green LED on the AC outlet.

    Is the green LED flashing? 

    • Yes:
      • GO to .
    • No:
      • If the green LED is NOT illuminated, CHECK BJB fuse 17 (40A) and BCM fuse 32 (15A). If OK, REFER to Diagnostic Routine B: The AC Power Point LED is Never On . If not OK, identify the possible cause of the circuit short.

        Refer to the HORN_CIGAR LIGHTER - Wiring Diagrams for schematic and connector information.

      • If the green LED is illuminated continuously, the DC / AC inverter may have timed-out after 13 minutes of operation without the engine running. VERIFY correct system operation with a device rated at less than 150 watts. If there is still no power at the AC outlet, GO to .
  2. CHECK THE POWER SUPPLY CIRCUITS FOR VOLTAGE
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Disconnect DC / AC Inverter C3501A.
    3. Ignition ON.
    4. Measure:
      DC / AC Inverter Ground
      G08035439
      G08035440
      C3501A Ground
      Pin Circuit Measurement / Action Pin Circuit
      2 CBP32 (GN/VT)
      G08035441
      - Ground
      4 SBB17 (RD)
      G08035442
      - Ground

    Are the voltages greater than 10 volts? 

    • Yes:
      • GO to .
    • No:
      • CHECK BJB fuse 17 (40A) and BCM fuse 32 (15A). If OK, REPAIR the open circuit on the affected circuit(s). If not OK, identify the possible cause of the circuit short.

        Refer to the HORN_CIGAR LIGHTER - Wiring Diagrams for schematic and connector information.

  3. CHECK THE GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Measure:
      DC / AC Inverter Ground
      G08035443
      G08035444
      C3501A Ground
      Pin Circuit Measurement / Action Pin Circuit
      6 GD348 (BK/YE)
      G08035445
      - Ground

    Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 

    • Yes:
      • GO to .
    • No:
      • REPAIR the circuit.
  4. CHECK THE AC OUTLET CIRCUITS FOR AN OPEN
    1. Disconnect AC Outlet C301.
    2. Disconnect DC / AC Inverter C3501B.
    3. Measure:
      DC / AC Inverter AC Outlet
      G08035446
      G08035447
      C3501B C301

      G08035449
      1 HYA02 (OG/WH)

    Are the resistances less than 5 ohms? 

    • Yes:
      • GO to .
    • No:
      • REPAIR the circuit(s).
  5. CHECK THE AC OUTLET CIRCUITS FOR A SHORT TOGETHER
    1. Measure:
      DC / AC Inverter DC / AC Inverter
      G08035450
      G08035451
      C3501B C3501B

      6 HYA01 (OG/GN)
      G08035452
      3 HYA02 (OG/WH)

    Is the resistance greater than 10, 000 ohms? 

    • Yes:
      • GO to .
    • No:
      • REPAIR the circuits.
  6. CHECK THE AC OUTLET CIRCUITS FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
    1. Measure:
      DC / AC Inverter Ground
      G08035453
