Normal Operation and Fault Conditions 

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

When in ON mode, the BCM activates the integral run/start relay and provides a ground 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 BCM fuse 34 (30A). The BJB run/start relay receives voltage from the BJB fuses 11 (30A) and 23 (5A).

BCM DTC Fault Trigger Conditions 

DTC Description Fault Trigger Conditions
B108A:01 Start Button: General Electrical Failure Sets continuous when the BCM detects a mismatch between the switch input circuits, one indicates closed and one indicates open.
B108A:24 Start Button: Signal Stuck High Sets continuous when the BCM detects a fault on one of the ignition switch input circuits for 10 seconds or longer.
B108A:9E Start Button: Stuck On Sets continuous when the BCM detects only one switch input circuit indicating open when the start button is released.
B1142:29 Ignition Status 1: Signal Invalid Sets during the on-demand self-test when the BCM detects a fault from one of the ignition switch input circuits.
B1310:12 Run/Start Control: Circuit Short To Battery Sets when the BCM detects a short to voltage from the BJB run/start relay coil control circuit. When this DTC sets, the control side of the run/start relay is disabled. The BCM must pass a self-test in order for the DTC to clear and the BCM to enable control of the run/start relay.
B1310:14 Run/Start Control: Circuit Short to Ground or Open Sets when the BCM detects an open or a short to ground from the BJB run/start relay coil control circuit.
