Pinpoint Test AN: The Key-In-Ignition Warning Chime Is Inoperative

Refer to Wiring Diagram Set 60, Instrument Cluster for schematic and connector information Electrical Diagrams.

Normal Operation

The Instrument Cluster (IC) receives the key-in-ignition warning status from the Smart Junction Box (SJB) over the Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN). The key-in-ignition warning switch (part of the ignition switch) is hardwired to the SJB (Smart Junction Box). When the key is inserted into the ignition lock cylinder, the key-in-ignition switch closes and supplies voltage to the SJB (Smart Junction Box). The SJB (Smart Junction Box) monitors the door ajar input from the LH front door and the key-in-ignition switch status. When the key is inserted into the ignition lock cylinder and the driver door is open or ajar, the SJB (Smart Junction Box) sends the IC (Instrument Cluster) a chime request message to sound the key-in-ignition warning chime.

- DTC B1352 (Ignition Key-In Circuit Failure)- an on-demand DTC that sets if the SJB (Smart Junction Box) detects an open on the key-in-ignition switch input circuit or if the SJB (Smart Junction Box) detects ignition START, RUN/START or RUN/ACC inputs without the key-in-ignition input.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

- Wiring, terminals or connectors

- Key-in-ignition switch (part of the ignition switch)

- SJB (Smart Junction Box)

- IC (Instrument Cluster)

PINPOINT TEST AN : THE KEY-IN-IGNITION WARNING CHIME IS INOPERATIVE

AN1 CHECK THE SAFETY BELT WARNING CHIME OPERATION

- Ignition OFF.

- Ignition ON.

- Monitor the safety belt warning chime when the ignition switch is transitioned from OFF to RUN for 6 seconds.

Does the safety belt warning chime operate for approximately 6 seconds?

Yes
GO to AN2.

No
INSTALL a new IC (Instrument Cluster). REFER to Instrument Cluster (IC) . TEST the system for normal operation.

AN2 CHECK THE DOOR AJAR WARNING INDICATOR OPERATION

- Ignition ON.

- Open then close the LH front door while observing the door ajar warning indicator in the IC (Instrument Cluster) message center or the integrated display.

Does the door ajar warning indicator operate correctly?

Yes
GO to AN3.

No
GO to Pinpoint Test N Pinpoint Test N: The Door Ajar Warning Indicator Is Never/Always On.

AN3 RETRIEVE THE RECORDED DTCs FROM THE SJB (Smart Junction Box) SELF-TEST

- Check for recorded DTCs from the SJB (Smart Junction Box) self-test.

Is DTC B1352 present?

Yes
GO to AN4.

No
INSTALL a new SJB (Smart Junction Box). TEST the system for normal operation.

AN4 CHECK THE IGNITION SWITCH

- Disconnect: Ignition Switch C250.

- Carry out the ignition switch component test.

Is the ignition switch OK?

Yes
REPAIR circuit CDC30 (BU/GY) for an open. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.

No
INSTALL a new ignition switch. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
