Test A: The Key-In-Ignition Chime Is Inoperative

PINPOINT TEST A: THE KEY-IN-IGNITION CHIME IS INOPERATIVE


A1-A4:






Normal Operation
When the key is inserted into the ignition lock cylinder, the key-in-ignition switch (part of the ignition switch) closes and routes a voltage signal to the instrument cluster through circuit 3410 (YE). The voltage signal indicates to the instrument cluster the key is inserted into the ignition lock cylinder. If the instrument cluster detects that the ignition switch is in the OFF or ACC position with the key inserted in the ignition lock cylinder and the driver door is ajar, the key-in-ignition warning chime (located in the instrument cluster) sounds.

Possible Causes
- circuit 3410 (YE) open
- key-in-ignition switch (part of the ignition switch)
- instrument cluster
