Test Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. 3:  This tests the ignition switch for a short circuit between the 12 Volt reference supply circuit and the Ignition 3 circuit in the Off position.
  2. 4:  This tests the wiring of the Ignition 3 circuit for a short to Ground or Voltage.
  3. 5:  This tests the ignition switch for a closed circuit between the ignition switch 12 Volt reference supply circuit and the Ignition 3 circuit in the Run and Crank switch positions. Care must be taken as the engine may crank during this test.

Schematic Reference: Body Control System Schematics  in Body Control Systems and Power Distribution Schematics in Wiring Systems.
Connector End View Reference: Body Control System Connector End Views  and Master Electrical Component List in Wiring Systems
1 Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check for the system exhibiting the symptom? Go to Step 2  Go to Control Module References  for the applicable Diagnostic System Check
2
  1. Install a scan tool.
  2. Turn the ignition ON, with the engine OFF.
  3. Check for DTCs in the range of DTC B1370 to B1385 in the BCM.
Does the scan tool display DTC B1370 to DTC B1385 as current?		 Go to Step 3  Refer to Diagnostic Aids
3 
  1. Disconnect the BCM harness connector that contains the Ignition 3 circuit.
  2. Place the ignition switch in the OFF position, leaving the key in the ignition.
  3. Test for a short to ground and a short to Voltage between the Ignition 3 circuit and the ignition switch 12 Volt reference supply circuit at the BCM harness connector. Refer to Body Control System Schematics  andCircuit Testing in Wiring Systems.
Did you find a short between the two circuits?		 Go to Step 4  Go to Step 5 
4 
  1. Disconnect the ignition switch harness connector.
  2. Test the Ignition 3 ignition switch circuit and the ignition switch 12 Volt reference supply circuit for a short to ground or voltage at the BCM harness connector. Refer to the following:
Did you find and correct the condition?		 Go to Step 9  Go to Step 7 
5 
  1. Turn the ignition switch to the RUN position.
  2. Test for continuity between the Ignition 3 terminal and the ignition switch 12 Volt reference supply terminal on the BCM harness connector. Refer to Circuit Testing in Wiring Systems.
  3. Turn the ignition switch to Accessory.
  4. Test for continuity between the Ignition 3 terminal and the ignition switch 12 Volt reference supply terminal on the BCM harness connector.
Can you measure continuity in both Run and Accessory?		 Go to Step 8  Go to Step 6 
6 Test the Ignition 3 and the ignition switch 12 Volt reference supply terminals of the ignition switch harness connector, for intermittent or poor connections, and an open condition.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 Go to Step 9  Go to Step 7 
7 Replace the ignition switch. Refer to Ignition Switch Replacement in Instrument Panel, Gages, and Console.
Did you complete the replacement?		 Go to Step 9  -
8
IMPORTANT: Perform the programming/RPO Configuration for the replacement BCM. Refer to Body Control Module (BCM) Programming/RPO Configuration .
Replace the BCM. Refer to Body Control Module Replacement .Did you complete the replacement?		 Go to Step 9  -

  1. Reconnect all disconnected connectors.
  2. Install the scan tool.
  3. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  4. Use the scan tool in order to clear the DTCs.
  5. Operate the vehicle within the conditions for running the DTCs as specified in the supporting text.
Does the DTC reset?		 Go to Step 1  System OK
