Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The vehicle ON/OFF switch has a single LED that indicate the vehicle power mode. When the vehicle is in the off mode, the LED is not illuminated. Pressing and holding the vehicle ON/OFF switch for five seconds, without the brake pedal applied, will enter the Vehicle Service Mode and the blue LED will illuminate. With the vehicle OFF and the brake pedal applied, pressing the vehicle ON/OFF switch once, the vehicle will enter the Vehicle ON mode and the blue LED will illuminate.
The vehicle ON/OFF switch contains two individual switches that provides redundant switch inputs to both the body control module (BCM) and the keyless entry control module. The BCM supplies the vehicle ON/OFF switch a constant B+ signal. The BCM monitors this signal to determine if the switch is released or pressed. When the vehicle ON/OFF switch is not pressed, voltage on the signal circuit is pulled down through two resistors in the switch. When the vehicle ON/OFF switch is pressed, voltage on the signal circuit is pulled down through only one resistor, changing the voltage seen at the BCM and indicating that the vehicle ON/OFF switch is pressed.
The keyless entry control module monitors voltage on the switch is the same manner as the BCM, but monitors the second switch located in the vehicle ON/OFF switch.
Conditions for Running the DTC
Control module voltage is 9-16 V.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
B097B 00
* The voltage seen at the BCM monitored switch does not match the voltage seen at the keyless entry control module monitored switch.
* The above condition exists for more than 1 second
B097B 02
* The control module detects a short to ground in the vehicle ON/OFF switch signal circuit
* The above condition exists for more than 1 second
B097B 04
* The control module detects a open in the vehicle ON/OFF switch signal circuit
* The above condition exists for more than 1 second
B097B 05
* The control module detects an open in the vehicle ON/OFF switch signal circuit
* The above condition exists for more than 1 second
B097B 08
* The control module detects a change in the ignition mode without observing a switch press
* The above condition occurs 4 consecutive times
B097B 61
* The control module detects a continuously closed vehicle ON/OFF switch
* The above condition exists for more than 1 minute
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
No action is taken.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
* A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present.
* A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive module ignition cycles without a repeat of the malfunction.

Circuit/System Verification
1. Verify DTC B097B 08 or B097B 61 is not set.
• If either DTC is set, test or replace the S83 vehicle ON/OFF switch.
2. With the brake pedal released, press and hold the S83 vehicle ON/OFF switch for 5 seconds. The blue LED should illuminate and the vehicle should be in Service Mode.
Circuit/System Testing
1. Vehicle OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the S83 vehicle ON/OFF switch.
2. Test for less than 10 ohm between the ground circuit terminal 4 and ground.
• If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
3. Vehicle OFF, test for less than 10 ohm between the low reference circuit terminal 7 and ground.
• If greater than specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K84 keyless entry control module.
4. Verify the scan tool BCM Push Button Ignition Switch Voltage parameter is greater than 11 V.
• If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit terminal 6 for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 body control module.
5. Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 6 and ground. Verify the scan tool BCM Push Button Ignition Switch Voltage parameter is less than 1 V.
• If greater than the specified range, 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.
6. Connect the harness connector at the S83 vehicle ON/OFF switch.
7. With the S83 vehicle ON/OFF switch released, verify the scan tool BCM Push Button Ignition Switch Voltage parameter is 8-10 V.
• If not within the specified range, test or replace the S83 vehicle ON/OFF switch.
8. With the S83 vehicle ON/OFF switch pressed, verify the scan tool BCM Push Button Ignition Switch Voltage parameter is 4-7 V.
• If not within the specified range, test or replace the S83 vehicle ON/OFF switch.
9. Disconnect the X1 harness connector at the K84 keyless entry control module.
10. Vehicle OFF, test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit terminal 11 and ground.
• If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to ground.
11. Vehicle in Service Mode, test for less than 1 V between the signal circuit terminal 11 and ground.
• If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage.
12. With the S83 vehicle ON/OFF switch pressed, test for 4.5-5.5k ohm between the signal terminal 11 and the low reference terminal 12.
• If not within the specified range, test the signal circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the S83 vehicle ON/OFF switch.
13. With the S83 vehicle ON/OFF switch released, test for 1-1.5k ohm between the signal terminal 11 and the low reference terminal 12.
• If not within the specified range, test or replace the S83 vehicle ON/OFF switch.
14. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the K84 keyless entry control module.
Component Testing
1. Vehicle OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the S83 vehicle ON/OFF switch.
2. With the S83 vehicle ON/OFF switch released, test for 4.5-5.5k ohm between the terminal listed below:
* Signal terminal 4 and low reference terminal 6
* Signal terminal 3 and low reference terminal 7
• If not within the specified range, replace the S83 vehicle ON/OFF switch.
3. With the S83 vehicle ON/OFF switch pressed, test for 1-1.5k ohm between the terminal listed below:
* Signal terminal 4 and low reference terminal 6
* Signal terminal 3 and low reference terminal 7
• If not within the specified range, replace the S83 vehicle ON/OFF switch.
