Pinpoint Tests

PINPOINT TEST A: THE BSIA SYSTEM DOES NOT RELEASE/LOCK CORRECTLY

-------------------------------------------------
A1 CHECK THE BRAKE LIGHTS


- Apply the brake pedal and view the brake lights.
- Do all the brake lights illuminate?

Yes
GO to A2.

No
REFER to Brake Lamp. Testing and Inspection

-------------------------------------------------
A2 CHECK CIRCUIT 810 (RD/LG) FOR A SHORT TO GROUND


- Disconnect: Lighting Control Module (LCM) C2145A.
- Disconnect: Brake Shift Interlock Actuator (BSIA) C2008.
- Measure the resistance between BSIA C2008, circuit 810 (RD/LG), harness side and ground.




- Is the resistance greater than 10,000 ohms?

Yes
GO to A3.

No
REPAIR circuit 810 (RD/LG) for a short to ground. RECONNECT all components. TEST the system for normal operation.

-------------------------------------------------
A3 CHECK CIRCUIT 810 (RD/LG) FOR AN OPEN


- Measure the resistance between BSIA C2008-2, circuit 810 (RD/LG), harness side and LCM C2145A-6, circuit 810 (RD/LG), harness side.




- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?

Yes
GO to A4.

No
REPAIR circuit 810 (RD/LG) for an open. RECONNECT all components. TEST the system for normal operation.

-------------------------------------------------
A4 CHECK CIRCUIT 57 (BK) FOR AN OPEN


- Measure the resistance between BSIA C2008-1, circuit 57 (BK), harness side and ground.




- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?

Yes
GO to A5.

No
REPAIR circuit 57 (BK) for an open. RECONNECT all components. TEST the system for normal operation.

-------------------------------------------------
A5 CHECK THE LCM


- Connect: LCM C2145B.
- Ignition ON.
- Measure the voltage at BSIA C2008-2, circuit 810 (RD/LG), harness side while applying the brake pedal.




- Is the voltage greater than 10 volts while applying the brake pedal?

Yes
INSTALL a new BSIA. REFER to Brake Shift Interlock Actuator Service and Repair. RECONNECT all components. TEST the system for normal operation.

No
INSTALL a new LCM. RECONNECT all components. TEST the system for normal operation.
