Pinpoint Test C: No Power in RUN

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

Normal Operation

When the ignition switch is placed in the RUN position, fused ignition voltage is sent to the Central Junction Box (CJB) and Battery Junction Box (BJB).

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


PINPOINT TEST C: NO POWER IN RUN

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

- Is the voltage greater than 10 volts for all circuits?

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

No
GO to C2.

-------------------------------------------------
C2 CHECK THE IGNITION RUN CIRCUITS FOR AN OPEN


- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: Ignition Switch C250.

- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms for all circuits?

Yes
GO to C3.

No
REPAIR the affected circuit(s). TEST the system for normal operation.

-------------------------------------------------
C3 CHECK THE IGNITION RUN CIRCUITS FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
