Circuit/System Testing
- If DTCs P0685, P0689, or P0690 are set, test and repair those DTCs first.
- Obtain access to the ignition switch electrical connector.
- With the key OFF, test for battery positive voltage to the ignition switch.
- If less than battery positive voltage test and repair for an open/high resistance, or short to ground, in the voltage supply circuit to the ignition switch. All wire circuit resistance should measure 2 ohms or less.
- With the ignition ON, perform a voltage drop test across the ignition switch. Measure the amount of voltage drop between the battery positive voltage input terminal/connector, and the ignition 1 voltage output terminal/connector at the ignition switch. The amount of voltage drop should not exceed 300 millivolts.
- If you measure more than 300 millivolts, inspect and test the ignition switch electrical terminals and mating wire harness electrical connector for corrosion and terminal tightness.
- If the electrical terminals/connections test normal, replace the ignition switch.
- With the ignition OFF, disconnect the ignition switch electrical connector that contains the ignition 1 voltage circuit to the ECM. Disconnect the ECM electrical connector that contains the ignition 1 voltage circuit from the ignition switch.
- Test and repair if necessary, the ignition 1 voltage circuit for an open/high resistance, or a short to ground. All circuit resistance should measure 2 ohms or less.
- If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
