DTC 25/35: Security Indicator Light Status: Testing

  1. Turn ignition switch to RUN position. If SECURITY indicator light illuminates, go to next step. If SECURITY indicator light does not illuminate, go to step  3 .
  2. Attempt to enter Body Control Module (BCM) diagnostic mode. If SECURITY indicator light flashes DTCs, system is operating properly. Go to appropriate diagnostic procedure. See BCM DTC DEFINITIONS  table under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. If SECURITY indicator light does not flash DTCs, go to next step.
  3. Ensure ignition switch is in RUN position. Disconnect Red 2-pin SECURITY indicator light connector. Connect DVOM between ground and Red 2-pin SECURITY indicator light connector terminal "B" (Dark Green wire). If battery voltage exists, go to step  5 . If battery voltage does not exist, go to next step.
  4. Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Check for open or poor connection in Dark Green wire between Blue 32-pin BCM connector C1 terminal C16 and Red 2-pin SECURITY indicator light connector terminal "B".
