Pinpoint Test AR: The Chime Sounds When The Driver Door Is Ajar (No Key In Ignition And Headlamps Off)

Refer to Wiring Diagram Set 60, Instrument Cluster for schematic and connector information. Diagrams By Number

Normal Operation

The Instrument Cluster (IC) receives the key-in-ignition warning status from the Smart Junction Box (SJB) over the Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN). The key-in-ignition warning switch (part of the ignition switch) is hardwired to the SJB through circuit CDC30 (BU/GY). When the key is inserted into the ignition lock cylinder, the key-in-ignition switch closes and supplies voltage to the SJB. The SJB monitors the door ajar input from the LH front door and the key-in-ignition switch status. When the key is inserted into the ignition lock cylinder and the LH front door is open or ajar, the SJB sends the IC a chime request message to sound the key-in-ignition warning chime. The headlamps on warning chime sounds when the driver door is opened with the ignition switch in the OFF position, and the headlamp switch is in the PARK or HEADLAMP ON position.

The SJB receives the headlamp switch status from the headlamp switch and the LH front door ajar status from the LH front door ajar switch through hardwired circuitry. The SJB communicates the headlamp on chime request to the IC when the headlamps or parking lamps are on and the driver door is opened. The autolamps feature must not be selected for the headlamps on warning chime to operate.

- DTC B1352 (Ignition Key-In Circuit Failure) - an on-demand DTC that sets if the SJB detects an open on the key-in-ignition switch input, circuit CDC30 (BU/GY) or if the SJB detects ignition START, RUN/START or RUN/ACC inputs without the key-in-ignition input.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- Key-in-ignition warning switch (part of the ignition switch)
- SJB



PINPOINT TEST AR: THE CHIME SOUNDS WHEN THE DRIVER DOOR IS AJAR (NO KEY IN IGNITION AND HEADLAMPS OFF)

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

-------------------------------------------------
AR1 CHECK THE IC ILLUMINATION


- Verify the IC is not illuminated with the headlamp switch off.
- Does the IC illumination operate correctly?

Yes
GO to AR2.

No
REFER to Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators.

-------------------------------------------------
AR2 RETRIEVE THE RECORDED DTCs FROM THE CONTINUOUS AND ON-DEMAND SJB SELF-TESTS


- Check the recorded DTCs from the SJB self-tests.
- Is DTC B1352 present?

Yes
GO to AR3.

No
GO to AR4.

-------------------------------------------------
AR3 CHECK THE SJB INPUT PIDs FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH


- Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: SJB DataLogger.
- Select and monitor the SJB ignition switch ACC (IGN_A_ECU), ignition switch OFF (IGN_O_ECU), ignition switch RUN (IGN_R_ECU), and ignition switch START (IGN_S_ECU) PIDs while cycling the ignition switch from ACC, OFF, RUN and START.
- Do the SJB PIDs match the ignition switch position?

Yes
GO to AR6.

No
REFER to Steering Column to diagnose the ignition switch outputs to the SJB. Testing and Inspection

-------------------------------------------------
AR4 CHECK CIRCUIT CDC30 (BU/GY) FOR VOLTAGE


- Ignition OFF.
- Remove the key from the ignition cylinder.
- Disconnect: SJB C2280b.
- Measure the voltage between the SJB C2280b-35, circuit CDC30 (BU/GY), harness side and ground.




- Is any voltage present?

Yes
GO to AR5.

No
GO to AR6.

-------------------------------------------------
AR5 CHECK CIRCUIT CDC30 (BU/GY) FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE


- Disconnect: Ignition Switch C250.
- Measure the voltage between the SJB C2280b-35, circuit CDC30 (BU/GY), harness side and ground.




- Is any voltage present?

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

No
INSTALL a new ignition switch. TEST the system for normal operation.

-------------------------------------------------
AR6 CHECK FOR CORRECT SJB OPERATION


- Disconnect all the SJB connectors.
- Check for:
- corrosion
- damaged pins
- pushed-out pins
- Connect all the SJB 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. 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.
