Keyless Access System (Body Control Module and Electric Steering Lock) Input Test

SRS components are located in this area. Review the SRS component locations and the precautions and procedures before doing repairs or service.

NOTE: 

Body Control Module 

1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

2. Disconnect the body control module connectors.

Inspect the connectors and socket terminals to be sure they are all making good contact:

With the connectors still disconnected, do the following input tests:

Cavity Wire Test condition Test: Desired result Possible cause if desired result is not obtained
D36 LT BLU Under all conditions Check for continuity between terminal D36 and data link connector (DLC) terminal No. 7: There should be continuity. An open or high resistance in the K LINE wire
Check for continuity between terminal D36 and body ground: There should be no continuity. A short to ground in the K LINE wire
F21 RED Under all conditions Check for continuity between terminal F21 and data link connector (DLC) terminal No. 15: There should be continuity. An open or high resistance in the L-LINE wire
Check for continuity between terminal F21 and body ground:There should be no continuity. A short to ground in the L-LINE wire
G18 YEL Press the engine start/stop switch Measure the voltage to ground:There should be battery voltage.
  • Faulty engine start/stop switch
