When the ignition switch is cycled to the OFF/LOCK position, from any other position, a monitoring cycle begins. The monitoring cycle checks that the voltage supplied to the Body Control Module (BCM) from the ignition switch through the run/acc, run/start and start circuits were delivered correctly for each ignition switch position.
- DTC U300A:01 (Ignition Switch: General Electrical Failure)-- sets if the voltage inputs to the BCM do not match the pre defined configurations for each ignition switch position.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- Ignition switch
- Circuit Deactivation Ignition Module (CDIM), if equipped
