Pinpoint Test C: No Power in RUN



Normal Operation - Vehicles not equipped with a Circuit Deactivation Ignition Module (CDIM)

When the ignition switch is placed in the RUN position, voltage is supplied to the internal logic of the Body Control Module (BCM) via the run/acc and run/start circuits. The BCM (Body Control Module) communicates the inputs internally to provide a ground to the run/start relay control circuit. When activated, the run/start relay provides voltage to the BCM (Body Control Module) run/start circuits.

Normal Operation - Vehicles equipped with a CDIM (Circuit Deactivation Ignition Module)

When the ignition switch is placed in the RUN position, voltage is sent to the internal logic of the BCM (Body Control Module) through the CDIM (Circuit Deactivation Ignition Module) via the run/acc and run/start circuits. The BCM (Body Control Module) communicates the inputs internally to provide a ground signal to the run/start relay control circuit. When activated, the run/start relay provides voltage to the BCM (Body Control Module) run/start circuits.

Voltage is also supplied to BCM (Body Control Module) fuses 43 (10A) and 44 (10A).

- DTC B1310:14 (Run/Start Control: Circuit Short to Ground or Open)- sets if the BCM (Body Control Module) determines that the circuit from the ignition switch is open or shorted to ground during normal operation.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

- Fuse(s)

- Wiring, terminals or connectors

- Run/start relay

- Ignition switch

- CDIM (Circuit Deactivation Ignition Module) (if equipped)

- BCM (Body Control Module)

- Battery Junction Box (BJB)
