Yes GO to BE3

No REFER to: Interior Lighting .

BE3 CHECK THE GWM (GATEWAY MODULE A) DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS)
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, check the GWM Continuous Memory Diagnostic Trouble Codes (CMDTCs).
Are any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) recorded?

Yes REFER to: Communications Network .

No GO to BE4

BE4 PERFORM THE BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE) SELF-TEST
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform the BCM self-test.
Is DTC B10F1:14 present?

Yes GO to BE5

No GO to BE9

BE5 CHECK THE KEY-IN-IGNITION INPUT CIRCUIT FOR VOLTAGE

Ignition OFF.

Insert the key into the ignition cylinder.

Disconnect BCM C2280B .

Yes

GO to BE8

No	REPAIR the circuit.

BE8 CHECK THE IGNITION SWITCH
- Remove the ignition switch. REFER to: Ignition Switch - Vehicles With: Keyless Vehicle System .
- Perform the ignition switch component test.
Is the ignition switch OK?

Yes INSTALL a new ignition lock cylinder housing.

No INSTALL a new ignition switch. REFER to: Ignition Switch .

BE9 CHECK FOR CORRECT BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE) OPERATION

Ignition OFF.

Disconnect and inspect all BCM connectors and related in-line connectors.

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

Reconnect the BCM connectors and related in-line connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.

Operate the system and verify the concern is still present

Is the concern still present?

Yes	CHECK On-Line Automotive Service Information System (OASIS) for any applicable Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs). If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW TSB instructions. If no Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) address this concern, Refer to BCM Hardware Testing

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.
