Pinpoint Test C : No Power In On - Conventional Ignition Switch: Notes

Refer to Power Distribution for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions 

When the ignition switch is turned to the RUN position, a voltage signal is sent to the BCM. The BCM then activates the integral run/start relay and sends a signal to activate the BJB run/start relay, which distributes fused voltage to various components. The integral run/start relay in the BCM receives voltage from the high current BJB fuse 2 (125A). The run/start relay in the BJB receives voltage from the battery through the high current BJB.

BCM DTC Fault Trigger Conditions 

DTC Description Fault Trigger Conditions
B1142:29 Ignition Status 1: Signal Invalid Sets when the BCM does not receive a valid ignition signal during a BCM self-test.
B1310:14 Run/Start Control: Circuit Short to Ground or Open The BCM continuously monitors the control side of the run/start relay in the BJB. This DTC sets if the BCM detects an open or a short to ground from the control circuit. When this DTC sets, the control side of the run/start relay is disabled via the Field-Effect Transistor (FET). Once the condition that caused the DTC to set is repaired, the BCM must pass a self-test in order for the DTC to clear and the system to resume normal operation
