Power Door Lock Test 19B - Shorted Key-In Ignition Circuit

NOTE: Perform POWER DOOR LOCK TEST 19A  before proceeding with this test. For connector terminal identification, refer to CONNECTOR IDENTIFICATION  . For wiring diagrams, refer to WIRING DIAGRAMS  . Perform, after each repair, VERIFICATION TEST VER-1A - VERIFICATION PROCEDURE  .
CAUTION: Always turn ignition switch to OFF position prior to disconnecting or connecting any module connector.
  1. Disconnect key-in ignition switch connector. See Figure in CHIME TEST 4B. Using scan tool, read key-in ignition switch status. If scan tool displays KEY-IN IGNITION SW: CLOSED, go to next step. If scan tool does not display KEY-IN IGNITION SW: CLOSED, replace ignition switch. See STEERING COLUMN SWITCHES article.
  2. Turn ignition off. Disconnect Body Control Module (BCM) connector "A". BCM is located with junction block under driver's side instrument panel. See Figure . Using scan tool in ohmmeter mode, measure resistance at terminal No. 4 (Light Blue wire) on BCM connector "A". If resistance is less than 5 ohms, repair Light Blue wire for short to ground. If resistance is 5 ohms or greater, replace BCM.
