Pinpoint Test J: The Battery Saver Does Not Deactivate After Time-Out

Refer to Wiring Diagram Set 89, Interior Lamps for schematic and connector information. [1][2]Diagrams By Number

Normal Operation

The Smart Junction Box (SJB) controls the battery saver function. The battery saver function provides automatic shutoff of the interior lamps (courtesy lamps and demand lamps) after 10 minutes have elapsed in order to save battery power.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

- Wiring, terminals or connectors

- SJB (Smart Junction Box)

PINPOINT TEST J : THE BATTERY SAVER DOES NOT DEACTIVATE AFTER TIME-OUT

NOTICE: Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.

J1 CHECK THE SJB (Smart Junction Box) IGNITION SWITCH PIDs

- Ignition ON.

- Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: SJB (Smart Junction Box) DataLogger.

- Monitor the SJB (Smart Junction Box) ignition switch PIDs (IGN_A_ECU, IGN_O_ECU, IGN_R_ECU and IGN_S_ECU) while rotating the ignition switch through all positions.

Do the ignition switch PIDs agree with the ignition switch positions?

Yes
GO to J2.

No
REFER to Steering Column.

J2 CHECK THE DEMAND LAMP VOLTAGE SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE

- Ignition OFF.

- Disconnect: SJB (Smart Junction Box) C2280E.

- Ignition ON.

- Operate the demand lamps.

Do the demand lamps illuminate?

Yes
REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.

No
GO to J3.

J3 CHECK FOR CORRECT SJB (Smart Junction Box) OPERATION

- Disconnect all the SJB (Smart Junction Box) connectors.

- Check for:
- corrosion

- damaged pins

- pushed-out pins


- Connect all the SJB (Smart Junction Box) connectors and make sure they seat correctly.

- Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.

Is the concern still present?

Yes
INSTALL a new SJB (Smart Junction Box). TEST the system for normal operation.

No
The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector.
