Testing
- Ensure all exterior lights are off. With the scan tool select: BODY COMPUTER, Input Output. Read the Key-In Ignition SW. Remove the key from the ignition switch. If the scan tool shows Key-In IGN OPEN, replace the BCM. See BODY CONTROL MODULE under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. If the scan tool does not show Key-In IGN OPEN, go to next step.
- Disconnect the ignition switch connector. If the chime turned off, check the ignition lock cylinder for damage. If OK, replace the ignition switch. See IGNITION SWITCH under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. If not OK, go to next step.
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect the BCM C2 connector. Using a DVOM, measure the resistance of the key-in ignition switch sense circuit to ground at the ignition switch connector. If the resistance is below 100 ohms, repair the key-in ignition switch sense wire for a short to ground. If the resistance is 100 ohms or more, go to next step.
- If there are no possible causes remaining, replace the BCM. See BODY CONTROL MODULE under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION.
