- With the ignition OFF, disconnect the BCM connector.
- With the ignition OFF w/key out and in the ACC positions, measure for 0 volts between the off/run/crank voltage circuit at the BCM connector and ground.
- If over 0 volts, disconnect the ignition switch and check the off/run/crank voltage circuit for short to voltage or short to other ignition switch signal circuit.
- With the ignition OFF w/key in, measure for battery voltage between the off/run/crank voltage circuit at the BCM connector and ground.
- If less than battery voltage, disconnect the ignition switch and check the off/run/crank voltage circuit for an open or short to ground.
- With the ignition in the RUN and START positions, measure for battery voltage between the ignition 1 voltage circuit at the BCM connector and ground.
