Pinpoint Test A: No Power In All Ignition Switch Positions

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Ford Pickup. 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 multi-meter probes.

A1 CHECK THE IGNITION SWITCH
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: Ignition Switch C250.
- Carry out the IGNITION SWITCH . Refer to OEM WIRING DIAGRAMS for component testing.
- Is the ignition switch OK?
  - Yes : GO to A2.
  - No : INSTALL a new ignition switch. REFER to IGNITION SWITCH . CLEAR the DTC. REPEAT the self-test. TEST the system for normal operation.
A2 CHECK FOR VOLTAGE TO THE IGNITION SWITCH
- Measure the voltage between ignition switch C250-4, circuit SBP28 (GN/RD), harness side and ground.

- Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?
  - Yes : GO to A5.
  - No : VERIFY BCM fuse 28 (15A) is OK. If OK, GO to A3. If not OK, REFER to the Wiring Diagrams information to identify the possible cause of the circuit short. CLEAR the DTC. REPEAT the self-test. TEST the system for normal operation.
A3 CHECK FOR VOLTAGE TO BCM
- Measure the voltage between BCM fuse 28 (15A), circuit SBP28 (GN/RD), and ground.

- Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?
  - Yes : GO to A4
  - No : VERIFY fusible links A and B are OK. If OK, REPAIR circuit SDC04 (RD or GY). If not OK, REFER to the Wiring Diagrams information to identify the possible cause of the circuit short. CLEAR the DTC. REPEAT the self-test. TEST the system for normal operation.
A4 CHECK FOR AN OPEN BETWEEN THE BCM AND IGNITION SWITCH
- Disconnect: BCM C2280A.
- Measure the resistance between BCM C2280A-6 and ignition switch C250-4, circuit SBP28 (GN/RD), harness side.

- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
  - Yes : GO to A6.
  - No : REPAIR circuit SBP28 (GN/RD) for an open. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. TEST the system for normal operation.

A5 CHECK THE IGNITION SWITCH OUTPUT CIRCUITS FOR AN OPEN

Disconnect: BCM C2280B.

Measure the resistance between ignition switch C250, harness side and BCM C2280B, harness side as follows:

Ignition Switch	Circuit	BCM
C250-6	CDC33 (VT/GN)	C2280B-35
C250-1	CDC34 (WH/OG)	C2280B-29
C250-7	CDC35 (BU/WH)	C2280B-47

Are the resistances less than 5 ohms?
- Yes : GO to A6.
- No : REPAIR the affected circuit(s). CLEAR the DTC. REPEAT the self-test. TEST the system for normal operation.

A6 CHECK FOR CORRECT BCM OPERATION
- Disconnect all BCM connectors.
- Check the connectors for:
  - corrosion
  - damaged pins
  - pushed-out pins
- Connect all BCM connectors and make sure they are seated correctly.
- Connect: Ignition Switch C250.
- Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
- Is the concern still present?
  - Yes : INSTALL a new BCM. REFER to MULTIFUNCTION ELECTRONIC MODULES . CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. TEST the system for normal operation.
  - No : The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. TEST the system for normal operation.
