Pinpoint Tests
Pinpoint Tests A: The Clock Operation Is Erratic/Inoperative
Refer to Wiring Diagram Set 44, Horn/Cigar Lighter for schematic and connector information. Diagrams By Number
Normal Operation
The clock receives battery voltage from the Smart Junction Box (SJB) through circuit SBP14 (BN/RD). Ground for the clock is supplied through circuit GD111 (BK/BU).
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Fuse
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- Clock
PINPOINT TEST A: THE CLOCK OPERATION IS ERRATIC/INOPERATIVE
NOTICE: Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.
NOTE: Failure to disconnect the battery when instructed will result in false resistance readings. Refer to Battery.
-------------------------------------------------
A1 CHECK CIRCUIT SBP14 (BN/RD) FOR AN OPEN
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: Clock C2016.
- Measure the voltage between the clock C2016-6, circuit SBP14 (BN/RD), harness side and ground.
- Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?
Yes
GO to A2.
No
VERIFY the SJB fuse 14 (10A) is OK. If OK, REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation. If not OK, Refer to the Wiring Diagrams to identify the possible causes of the circuit short.
-------------------------------------------------
A2 CHECK CIRCUIT GD111 (BK/BU) FOR AN OPEN
- Disconnect: Negative Battery Cable.
- Measure the resistance between the clock C2016-3, circuit GD111 (BK/BU), harness side and ground.
- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
Yes
INSTALL a new clock. REFER to Clock Service and Repair. TEST the system for normal operation.
No
REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
