Pinpoint Test C: No Power In Run

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Ford Mustang. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Use the Flex Probe Kit for all test connections to prevent damage to the wiring terminals. Do not use standard multi-meter probes.
  1. C1 CHECK THE IGNITION SWITCH 
    • Carry out the Ignition Switch Component Test. Refer to COMPONENT TESTING.
    • Is the ignition switch OK? 
    1. YES  : Go to  C2.
    2. NO  : INSTALL a new ignition switch. REFER to Ignition Switch . TEST the system for normal operation.
  2. C2 CHECK FOR VOLTAGE AT THE SJB 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Disconnect: SJB C2280a
    • Key in ON position.

    • Measure the voltage between SJB C2280a-36, circuit 1044 (WH/YE), harness side and ground.
    • Is the voltage greater than 10 volts? 
    1. YES  : Go to  C4.
    2. NO  : Go to  C3.
  3. C3 CHECK CIRCUIT 1044 (WH/YE) FOR AN OPEN OR A SHORT TO GROUND 
    • Key in OFF position.

    • Measure the resistance between:
      • SJB C2280a-36, circuit 1044 (WH/YE), harness side and ignition switch C250-1, circuit 1044 (WH/YE), harness side.
      • SJB C2280a-36, circuit 1044 (WH/YE), harness side, and ground.
    • Are the resistances less than 5 ohms between the SJB and the ignition switch, and greater than 10,000 ohms between the SJB and ground? 
    1. YES  : Go to  C4.
    2. NO  : REPAIR circuit 1044 (WH/YE). TEST the system for normal operation.
  4. C4 CHECK FOR CORRECT SJB OPERATION 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Check SJB C2280a for:
      • corrosion.
      • pushed-out pins.
      • spread terminals.
    • Connect: SJB C2280a
    • Make sure the connector seats correctly, then operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
    • Is the concern still present? 
    1. YES  : INSTALL a new SJB. REFER to MULTIFUNCTION ELECTRONIC MODULES article. REPEAT the self-test.
    2. NO  : The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. TEST the system for normal operation.
