Pinpoint Test H: The Ignition Mode Indicator Is Inoperative

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2021 Ford F-150. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Refer to Wiring Diagrams STARTING SYSTEM for schematic and connector information.

    Normal Operation and Fault Conditions 

    REFER to: Steering Wheel and Column Electrical Components - System Operation and Component Description .

    DTC Fault Trigger Conditions 

    DTC Description Fault Trigger Condition
    BCM B1240:11 Start Button Mode Indicator: Circuit Short To Ground Sets when the BCM detects a short to ground from the ignition mode status indicator circuit.
    BCM B1240:15 Start Button Mode Indicator: Circuit Short To Battery Or Open Sets when the BCM detects an open from the ignition mode status indicator circuit.

    Possible Sources 

    • Wiring, terminals or connectors
    • Push button ignition switch
    • BCM

  2. NOTE: Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.

  3. H1 CHECK FOR VOLTAGE TO THE IGNITION MODE INDICATOR

    • Start the engine.

    • Disconnect Push Button Ignition Switch C2195.

    • Measure:
      Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead
      C2195-2

      		 Ground

    Is the voltage greater than 11 volts? 

    Yes  GO to  H4
    No  GO to  H2

  4. H2 CHECK THE IGNITION MODE INDICATOR VOLTAGE CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND

    • Ignition OFF.

    • Disconnect BCM C2280B.

    • Measure:
      Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead
      C2195-2
      GFD552276Courtesy of FORD MOTOR COMPANY
      		 Ground

    Is the resistance greater than 10, 000 ohms? 

    Yes  GO to  H3
    No  REPAIR the circuit.

  5. H3 CHECK THE IGNITION MODE INDICATOR VOLTAGE CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN

    • Measure:
      Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead
      C2195-2
      GFD552276Courtesy of FORD MOTOR COMPANY
      		 C2280B-39

    Is the resistance less than 3 ohms? 

    Yes  GO to  H5
    No  REPAIR the circuit.

  6. H4 CHECK THE IGNITION MODE INDICATOR GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN

    • Measure:
      Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead
      C2195-2
      GFD552275Courtesy of FORD MOTOR COMPANY
      		 C2195-3

    Is the voltage greater than 11 volts? 

    Yes  INSTALL a new push button ignition switch. REFER to: Ignition Switch - Vehicles With: Keyless Vehicle System .
    No  REPAIR the circuit.

  7. H5 CHECK FOR CORRECT BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE) OPERATION

    • Disconnect and inspect all BCM 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 all other previously disconnected connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.

    • Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.

    Is the concern still present? 

    Yes  CHECK OASIS for any applicable service articles: TSB, GSB, SSM, or FSA. If a service article exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW the service article instructions. If no service articles 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.
