Circuit/System Verification

1. Ignition ON, verify that no DTC is present in the BCM.
If any DTC is set, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle .
2. Verify the ECM scan tool Stop/Start Select Switch parameter changes between Yes and No while pressing the Stop/Start switch.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the S48D Multifunction Switch 2 - Instrument Panel.
2. Test for less than 5 Ω between the earth circuit terminal 2 and earth.
If greater than the specified value, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
3. Ignition ON, verify the ECM scan tool Stop/Start Select Switch parameter is No.
If not the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal 7 for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
4. Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 7 and ground. Verify the ECM scan tool Stop/Start Select Switch parameter is Yes.
If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
