Pinpoint Test C: No Power In Run

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford Mustang. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Use the Flex Probe Kit for all test connections to prevent damage to the wiring terminals. Do not use standard multimeter probes.
NOTE: Verify that battery voltage is greater than 10 volts.
  1. C1 CHECK THE IGNITION SWITCH 
    • Carry out the IGNITION SWITCH  . Refer to appropriate OEM WIRING COMPONENT TESTING for component testing .
    • Is the ignition switch OK? 
    • Yes  : GO to C2.
    • No  : INSTALL a new ignition switch. REFER to IGNITION SWITCH . TEST the system for normal operation.
  2. C2 CHECK THE RUN CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN 
    • Disconnect: SJB C2280A.
    • Disconnect: SJB C2280E.
    • Disconnect: PCM Diode.
    • Disconnect: BJB Fuse 39 (5A).
    • Disconnect: BJB Fuse 45 (5A).
    • Measure the resistance between ignition switch C250-1, circuit CE612 (GY/VT), harness side and SJB C2280B-45, circuit CE612 (GY/VT), harness side.

    • Measure the resistance between ignition switch C250-7, circuit CE612 (GY/VT), harness side and:
      • BJB PCM diode, circuit CE612 (GY/VT), input side.
      • BJB fuse 39, circuit CE612 (GY/VT), input side.
      • BJB fuse 45, circuit CE612 (GY/VT), input side.

    • Are the resistances less than 5 ohms? 
    • Yes  : GO to C3.
    • No  : REPAIR circuit CE612 (GY/VT). TEST the system for normal operation.
  3. C3 CHECK THE RUN CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND 
    • Measure the resistance between ignition switch C250-1, circuit CE612 (GY/VT), harness side and ground.

    • Is the resistance greater than 10, 000 ohms? 
    • Yes  : GO to C4.
    • No  : REPAIR circuit CE612 (GY/VT). TEST the system for normal operation.
  4. C4 CHECK FOR CORRECT SJB OPERATION 
    • Check SJB C2280A and C2280E for:
      • corrosion.
      • pushed-out pins.
      • spread terminals.
    • Connect: Ignition Switch C250.
    • Connect: PCM Diode.
    • Connect: BJB Fuse 39 (5A).
    • Connect: BJB Fuse 45 (5A).
    • Connect: SJB C2280A.
    • Connect: SJB C2280E.
    • Make sure the connector seats correctly, then operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
    • Is the concern still present? 
    • Yes  : INSTALL a new SJB. REFER to MULTIFUNCTION ELECTRONIC MODULES . REPEAT the self-test.
    • No  : The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. TEST the system for normal operation.
