Pinpoint Test F: DTC B1360-Ignition Acc/Run Circuit Open

  1. F1 CHECK CENTRAL JUNCTION BOX (CJB) FUSE 15 (5A) OR 30 (5A) FOR VOLTAGE 
    • Key in ACCESSORY position.
    • Disconnect: CJB Fuse 15 (5A)
    • Disconnect: CJB Fuse 30 (5A)
    • Measure the following voltages:
      • measure the voltage between the CJB fuse cavity 15, input side and ground.
      • measure voltage between the CJB fuse cavity 30, input side and ground.
    • Are the voltages greater than 10 volts? 

    Yes  GO to F2.

    No  GO to  F3.

  2. F2 CHECK CIRCUITS 295 (LB/PK) OR 489 (PK/BK) FOR AN OPEN 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Disconnect: Instrument Cluster C220a.
    • Disconnect: Instrument Cluster C220b.
    • Measure the following resistances:
      • measure the resistance between instrument cluster C220b-18, circuit 295 (LB/PK), harness side and CJB fuse cavity 15 output side, circuit 295 (LB/PK).
      • measure the resistance between instrument cluster C220a-7, circuit 489 (PK/BK), harness side and CJB fuse cavity 30 output side, circuit 489 (PK/BK).
    • Are the resistances less than 5 ohms? 

    Yes  GO to  F6.

    No  REPAIR circuit 295 (LB/PK) or circuit 489 (PK/BK). TEST the system for normal operation.

  3. F3 CHECK CIRCUITS 687 (GY/YE) OR 16 (RD/LG) FOR AN OPEN 
    • Disconnect: Ignition Switch C250.
    • Measure the following resistances:
      • measure the resistance between ignition switch C250-6, circuit 687 (GY/YE), harness side and CJB fuse cavity 15 input side, circuit 687 (GY/YE).
      • measure the resistance between ignition switch C250-1, circuit 16 (RD/LG), harness side and CJB fuse cavity 30 input side, circuit 16 (RD/LG).
    • Are the resistances less than 5 ohms? 

    Yes  GO to F4.

    No  REPAIR circuit 687 (GY/YE) or circuit 16 (RD/LG). TEST the system for normal operation.

  4. F4 CHECK THE IGNITION SWITCH 
    • CARRY OUT the Ignition Switch Component Test. Refer to COMPONENT TESTING for schematic and connector information.
    • Is the ignition switch OK? 

    Yes  GO to F5.

    No  INSTALL a new ignition switch. REFER to STEERING COLUMN SWITCHES .

    TEST the system for normal operation

  5. F5 CHECK THE CJB 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Measure the resistance between the following CJB fuses input side and output side cavities:
      • measure the resistance between CJB fuse 15 input side and output side cavities.
      • measure the resistance between CJB fuse 30 input side and output side cavities.
    • Are the resistances less than 5 ohms? 

    Yes  GO to F6.

    No  INSTALL a new CJB. TEST the system for normal operation.

  6. F6 CHECK THE IGNITION SWITCH PIDS 
    • Connect the diagnostic tool.
    • Monitor the instrument cluster ignition ACC and RUN PIDs while cycling the ignition from ACC to RUN.
    • Do the PIDs indicate the ignition switch position correctly? 

    Yes  GO to F7.

    No  INSTALL a new instrument cluster. REFER to INFORMATION, GAUGES & WARNING DEVICES . REPEAT the self-test.

  7. F7 CHECK FOR CORRECT INSTRUMENT CLUSTER OPERATION 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Disconnect all instrument cluster connectors.
    • Check for:
      • corrosion
      • pushed-out pins
    • Connect all instrument cluster connectors and make sure they are seated correctly.
    • Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
    • Is the concern still present? 

    Yes  INSTALL a new instrument cluster. REFER to INFORMATION, GAUGES & WARNING DEVICES REPEAT the self-test

    No  The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. TEST the system for normal operation.
