- Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform the IPC self-test.
Are any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) recorded?
Yes REFER to DTC Chart: Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) No GO to AY4 - AY4 CHECK THE GWM (GATEWAY MODULE A) DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS)
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, check the GWM Continuous Memory Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
Are any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) recorded?
Yes No GO to AY5 - AY5 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 AY6 No GO to AY10 - AY6 CHECK THE KEY-IN-IGNITION INPUT CIRCUIT FOR VOLTAGE
- Ignition OFF.
- Insert the key into the ignition cylinder.
- Disconnect BCM C2280D.
- Measure:
Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead Refer to C2280D-22 Ground
Is the voltage greater than 11 volts?
Yes GO to AY10 No GO to AY7 - AY7 CHECK THE KEY-IN-IGNITION INPUT CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO GROUND
- Remove the key from the ignition cylinder.
- Measure:
Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead Refer to C2280D-22 Ground
Is the resistance greater than 10, 000 ohms?
Yes GO to AY8 No REPAIR the circuit. - AY8 CHECK THE KEY-IN-IGNITION INPUT CIRCUIT FOR OPEN
- Disconnect Ignition Switch C250.
Is the resistance less than 3 ohms?
Yes REPAIR the circuit. No GO to AY9 - AY9 CHECK THE IGNITION SWITCH
- Remove the ignition switch. REFER to: Ignition Switch .
- Perform the ignition switch component test.
Is the ignition switch OK?
Yes INSTALL a new steering column lock and ignition switch housing. REFER to: Steering Column Lock and Ignition Switch Housing . No INSTALL a new ignition switch. REFER to: Ignition Switch . - AY10 CHECK FOR CORRECT BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE) OPERATION
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect and inspect the BCM and all 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 and all 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, INSTALL a new BCM. REFER to: Body Control Module (BCM) . 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.
