2. Stop Start Switch Indicator Malfunction

 

Circuit/System Description

The stop start system helps to save fuel and to reduce the exhaust emission. When conditions allow, it switches off the engine as soon as the vehicle is at low speed or stand still, e.g. at a traffic light or in a traffic jam. It starts the engine automatically as soon as the clutch is depressed. A battery sensor ensures that an autostop is only performed if the battery is sufficiently charged for a restart. The stop start system will be manually deactivated by pressing the economy button. The deactivation is indicated by the indicator in the button going off.

Circuit/System Verification

1. Ignition ON, verify the stop start system is enabled through the stop start switch.
If the stop start system is manually disabled, enable the system. Refer to the vehicle owners manual for instructions on enabling the system.
2. Observe the scan tool Stop/Start Select Switch parameter while pressing and releasing the stop start switch. The parameter should change between Active and Inactive.
If the parameter does not change between the specified values, refer to Stop Start Switch Circuit Malfunction.
3. Command the Stop/Start Mode Switch Indicator output control ON and OFF with the scan tool. The stop start switch indicator should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
If the indicator does not turn ON and OFF, refer to Stop Start Switch Indicator Circuit Malfunction.

Circuit/System Testing

Stop Start Switch Circuit Malfunction

1. Ignition OFF, remove the ignition key, open the driver door and disconnect the scan tool.
2. Disconnect the X3 harness connector at the K9 Body Control Module and the harness connector at the S48D Multifunction Switch 2 - Instrument Panel.
3. Test for less than 5 Ω between the S48D Multifunction Switch 2 - Instrument Panel low reference circuit terminal 2 and ground.
If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance.
4. Ignition ON, test for less than 0.3 V between the signal circuit terminal 14 X3 at the K9 Body Control Module harness connector and ground.
If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage.
5. Ignition OFF, connect the harness connector at the S48D Multifunction Switch 2 - Instrument Panel.
6. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between the signal circuit terminal 14 X3 at the K9 Body Control Module harness connector and B+.
If the test lamp illuminates, test signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the S48D Multifunction Switch 2 - Instrument Panel.
7. Verify that the test lamp illuminates between the signal circuit terminal 14 X3 at the K9 Body Control Module harness connector and B+ while pressing the S48D Multifunction Switch 2 - Instrument Panel.
If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the signal circuit for an open/high resistance. If all circuits test normal, replace the S48D Multifunction Switch 2 - Instrument Panel.
8. If all circuits test normal, replace the K9 Body Control Module.

Stop Start Switch Indicator Circuit Malfunction

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the S48D Multifunction Switch 2 - Instrument Panel.
2. Test for less than 5 Ω between the S48D Multifunction Switch 2 - Instrument Panel low reference circuit terminal 2 and ground.
If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance.
3. Ignition ON, command the Stop/Start Mode Switch Indicator output control OFF with the scan tool. Test for greater than 11 V between the signal circuit terminal 8 and the low reference circuit terminal 2.
If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If all circuits test normal, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
4. Command the Stop/Start Mode Switch Indicator output control ON with the scan tool. Test for less than 0.3 V between the signal circuit terminal 8 and the low reference circuit terminal 2.
If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If all circuits test normal, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
5. If all circuits test normal, replace the S48D Multifunction Switch 2 - Instrument Panel.
