Pinpoint Test D: No Power in START

Refer to Wiring Diagram Set 13, Power Distribution/SJB for schematic and connector information. Diagrams By Number

Normal Operation

When the ignition switch is in the START position, voltage is sent to the One-Touch Integrated Start (OTIS) diode in the Battery Junction Box (BJB) and the PCM along circuit CDC35 (BU/WH).

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- Ignition switch



PINPOINT TEST D: NO POWER IN START

NOTICE: Use the Flex Probe Kit for all test connections to prevent damage to the wiring terminals. Do not use standard multi-meter probes.

-------------------------------------------------
D1 CHECK CIRCUIT CDC35 (BU/WH) FOR AN OPEN


- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: OTIS Diode.
- Disconnect: PCM C175b.
- Disconnect: Ignition Switch C250.
- Measure the resistance between ignition switch C250-7, circuit CDC35 (BU/WH), harness side and:
- OTIS diode, circuit CDC35 (BU/WH), input side.
- PCM C175b-9, circuit CDC35 (BU/WH), harness side.




- Are the resistances less than 5 ohms?

Yes
GO to D2.

No
REPAIR circuit CDC35 (BU/WH). TEST the system for normal operation.

-------------------------------------------------
D2 ISOLATE THE IGNITION SWITCH


- Start the engine.
- Measure the resistance between ignition switch C250 pin-4, component side and ignition switch C250 pin-7, component side.
- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?

Yes
The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. TEST the system for normal operation.

No
INSTALL a new ignition switch. REFER to Ignition Switch Ignition Switch. TEST the system for normal operation.
