Pinpoint Test AH: The Key-In-Ignition Warning Chime Is Inoperative

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) communication bus.

The key-in-ignition warning switch (part of the ignition switch) is hardwired to the SJB. 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 SJB detects a key-in-ignition voltage 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.

- DTC B1352 (Ignition Key-In Circuit Failure) - an on-demand DTC that sets in the SJB if the SJB detects an open on the key-in-ignition switch input circuit 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 switch (part of the ignition switch)
- SJB
- IC


PINPOINT TEST AH: THE KEY-IN-IGNITION WARNING CHIME IS INOPERATIVE

-------------------------------------------------
AH1 CARRY OUT THE CHIME FUNCTION ACTIVE COMMAND


- Ignition ON.
- Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: IC DataLogger .
- Select the IC chime command (CHIME_KEY).
- Does the chime operate?

Yes
GO to AH2.

No
INSTALL a new IC. REFER to Instrument Cluster (IC) Instrument Cluster (IC). TEST the system for normal operation.

-------------------------------------------------
AH2 CHECK THE DOOR AJAR WARNING INDICATOR OPERATION


- Ignition ON.
- Open then close the LH front door while observing the door ajar warning indicator in the IC.
- Does the door ajar warning indicator operate correctly?

Yes
GO to AH3.

No
GO to Pinpoint Test R. Pinpoint Test R: The Door Ajar Warning Indicator Is Never/Always On

-------------------------------------------------
AH3 RETRIEVE THE RECORDED DTCs FROM THE SJB SELF-TEST


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

Yes
GO to AH4.

No
INSTALL a new SJB. REFER to Multifunction Electronic Modules Service and Repair. TEST the system for normal operation.

-------------------------------------------------
AH4 CHECK THE IGNITION SWITCH


- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: Ignition Switch C250 .
- Carry out the ignition switch component test.
Refer to Ignition switch for component testing.

- Is the ignition switch OK?

Yes
REPAIR circuit CDC30 (BU/GY) for an open. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.

No
INSTALL a new ignition switch. REFER to Steering Column Switches Ignition Switch. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
