Normal Operation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Mercury Mariner and 2008 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The instrument cluster (IC) receives the key-in-ignition warning status from the smart junction box (SJB) over the medium speed controller area network (MS-CAN). The key-in-ignition warning switch (part of the ignition switch) is hardwired to the SJB through circuit CDC30 (BU/GY). When the key is inserted into the ignition lock cylinder, the key-in-ignition switch closes and supplies voltage to the SJB. The SJB monitors the door ajar input from the LH front door and the key-in-ignition switch status. When the key is inserted into the ignition lock cylinder and the driver door is open or ajar, the SJB sends the instrument cluster (IC) a chime request message to sound the key-in-ignition warning chime.

DTC B1352 (Ignition Key-In Circuit Failure) - is an on-demand DTC that sets if the SJB detects an open on the key-in-ignition switch input, circuit CDC30 (BU/GY) or if the SJB detects ignition START, RUN/START or RUN/ACC inputs without the key-in-ignition input.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

Wiring, terminals or connectors
Key-in-ignition switch (part of the ignition switch)
SJB
Instrument cluster (IC)
