Pinpoint Tests

NOTE:
NOTE:Use a digital multimeter for all electrical measurements.

PINPOINT TEST A : THE IGNITION SWITCH IS INOPERATIVE

TEST CONDITIONS DETAILS/RESULTS/ACTIONS
A1: CHECK THE IGNITION SWITCH ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR
1
Remove the steering column shrouds.
2
Check the ignition switch electrical connector.

Is the ignition switch electrical connector clean and secure?
Yes
No
CLEAN and SECURE the ignition switch electrical connector. TEST the system for normal operation.
A2: CHECK FOR VOLTAGE BETWEEN THE BATTERY JUNCTION BOX (BJB) AND THE IGNITION SWITCH
1
Disconnect Fuse 106 (110A).
2
Disconnect Ignition Switch C264.
3
Connect Fuse 106 (110A).

4
Measure the voltage between the ignition switch C264 pin 7, circuit (RD/YE), harness side and ground.

Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?
Yes
VERIFY the customers concern.
No
REPAIR circuit (RD/YE). TEST the system for normal operation.
