  2. Disconnect Ignition Switch harness connector. Does chime turn off? If yes, replace Ignition Switch. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST  under VERIFICATION TESTS. If no, go to next step.
  3. Ensure ignition is off. Disconnect CTM C1 harness connector. Measure resistance between ground and CTM C1 harness connector terminal No. 19. Is resistance less than 100 ohms?
