Diagnosis and Testing

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 700, for schematic and connector information.

Inspection and Verification

  1. Verify the customer concern.
  1. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical or electrical damage.

Visual Inspection Chart

Electrical
  • Fuse(s)
  • Wiring harness
  • Electrical connector(s)
  • Switch(es)
  • Battery
  1. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before proceeding to the next step.
  1. If the cause is not visually evident, verify the symptom and refer to the Sympton Chart.

Pinpoint Test

PINPOINT TEST A : THE IGNITION SWITCH IS INOPERATIVE

NOTE:
NOTE:Use a digital multimeter for all electrical measurements.
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 ON CIRCUIT SBP77B (RD/GY)
1
Disconnect Ignition Switch CDC32.

2
Measure the voltage between the ignition switch CDC32 Pin 4, circuit SBP77B (RD/GY), harness side and ground.

Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?
Yes
VERIFY the customers concern.
No
REPAIR the circuit SBP77B (RD/GY). TEST the system for normal operation.

PINPOINT TEST B : NO POWER IN ACC

NOTE:
NOTE:Use a digital multimeter for all electrical measurements.
TEST CONDITIONS DETAILS/RESULTS/ACTIONS
B1: CHECK FOR VOLTAGE ON CIRCUIT SBP77B (RD/GY)
1
Disconnect Ignition Switch CDC32.

2
Measure the voltage between the ignition switch CDC32 Pin 4, circuit SBP77B (RD/GY) harness side and ground.

Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?
Yes
REPAIR circuit CDC31A (GN/OG). TEST the system for normal operation.
No
REPAIR circuit SBP77B (RD/GY). TEST the system for normal operation.

NOTE:
NOTE:Use a digital multimeter for all electrical measurements.
TEST CONDITIONS DETAILS/RESULTS/ACTIONS
C1: CHECK FOR VOLTAGE ON CIRCUIT SBP77B (RD/GY)
1
Disconnect Ignition Switch CDC32.

2
Measure the voltage between the ignition switch CDC32 Pin 4, circuit SBP77B (RD/GY) harness side and ground.

Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?
Yes
REPAIR the circuit CDC32A (GY/RD). TEST the system for normal operation.
No
REPAIR the circuit SBP77B (RD/GY). TEST the system for normal operation.

PINPOINT TEST D : NO POWER IN START

NOTE:
NOTE:Use a digital multimeter for all electrical measurements.
TEST CONDITIONS DETAILS/RESULTS/ACTIONS
D1: CHECK FOR VOLTAGE ON CIRCUIT SBP77B (RD/GY)
1
Disconnect Ignition Switch CDC32.

2
Measure the voltage between the ignition switch CDC32 Pin 4, circuit SBP77B (RD/GY) harness side and ground.

Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?
Yes
REPAIR circuit CDC35A (BU/WH). TEST the system for normal operation.
