Ignition Switch: Description and Operation
Ignition Switch Description
IGNITION SWITCH
When the ignition switch is in the RUN position, it connects circuit A2 from the Power Distribution Center (PDC) to circuit A22 through the
ignition switch. A 30 amp maxi fuse in the PDC protects circuits A2 and A22.
^
Circuit A22 connects to a bus bar in the fuse block. The bus bar feeds circuits F20, C1, L5 and F25. Circuit F20 splices to power the
back-up lamp switch, heated rear window switch, and A/C compressor cycling switch.
^
Circuit C1 feeds the HVAC blower motor. A 25 amp fuse in the fuse block, cavity 7, protects circuit C1.
^
Circuit L5 powers the turn signals. A 10 amp fuse in the fuse block, cavity 6, protects circuit L5.
^
Circuit F25 feeds the airbag control module. A 10 amp fuse in the fuse block, cavity 5, protects circuit F25.
Also in the RUN position, the ignition switch connects circuit A1 from the PDC to circuit A21. A 30 amp maxi fuse in the PDC protects circuits
A1 and A21. Circuit A21 feeds a bus bar in the fuse block. The bus bar feeds circuits G5, F18, and F15.
^
Circuit G5 powers the gauge cluster warning lamps and the Daytime Running Lamp (DRL) module. Fuse cavity 11 (5 amp) in the fuse
block protects circuit G5.
^
Circuit F18 splices to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), duty cycle purge solenoid, EGR solenoid, ABS system, and a bus bar in the
PDC. The bus bar in the PDC feeds the coil side of the radiator fan relay, A/C compressor clutch relay, and the fuel pump relay. A 15 amp
fuse in the fuse block, cavity 10, protects circuit F18.
^
Circuit F15 feeds the airbag control module. A 10 amp fuse in the fuse block, cavity 9, protects circuit F15.
In the RUN or ACCESSORY position, the ignition switch connects circuits A1 and A31. Circuit A31 powers a bus bar in the fuse block. The bus
bar feeds circuits X12 and F13. A 30 amp maxi fuse in the PDC protects circuits A1 and A31.
^
Circuit X12 powers the radio. A 10 amp fuse in the fuse block, cavity 16, protects circuit X12.
^
Circuit F13 powers the windshield wiper system. A 20 amp fuse in the fuse block, cavity 15, protects circuit F13.
In the START position, the ignition switch connects circuits A1 and A41. Circuit A41 powers the coil side of the starter relay. On manual
transaxle vehicles, the clutch position switch opens and closes circuit A41. The clutch position switch closes when the operator depresses the
clutch pedal. On automatic transaxle vehicles, a jumper is used in the harness instead of the switch.
In the START position, the ignition switch connects circuit G9 to circuit Z1. This provides a ground path to illuminate the brake warning lamp.
Circuit G9 splices to the brake warning switch and park brake switch.
