B2185






B2185 - Ignition Unlock Run/Start Control Circuit High






For a complete wiring diagram, refer to.

When Monitored: With the ignition OFF.

Set Condition: The totally integrated power module detects voltage on the ignition switch output circuit with the ignition OFF.






Test Step 1 - Test For Active DTCs

Turn the ignition ON.

With the scan tool, read the active DTCs.

Cycle the ignition switch from OFF to ON, leaving the ignition ON for a minimum of 30 seconds.

With the scan tool, read the active DTCs.

Does the scan tool display this DTC as active?

Yes

Go to Test Step 2.

No

If the DTC is stored, test for an intermittent condition. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, visually inspect the related wiring harness connectors. Look for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded terminals.

Test Step 2 - Test Each Circuit Component for an Internal Short to Voltage

Using the wiring diagram as a guide disconnect each component on the circuit one at a time while testing for the DTC to become stored. Repeat these steps for each component.

Turn the ignition OFF.

Disconnect the component harness connector.

With the scan tool, read DTCs.

Is the DTC still active with all circuit components disconnected?

Yes

Go to Test Step 3.

No

Replace the component, that when disconnected caused the DTC to switch from active to stored.

Perform the Body Verification Test. Refer to => Non-DTC Based Diagnostics. Body Interior

Test Step 3 - Ignition Switch Output Circuit Short to Voltage






Turn the ignition OFF.

Disconnect the TIPM C6 harness connector.

Using a 12 volt test lamp connected to ground test the ignition switch output circuit.

Does the test lamp illuminate brightly?

Yes

Repair the ignition switch output circuit for a short to voltage.

Perform the Body Verification Test. Refer to => Non-DTC Based Diagnostics. Body Interior

No

Replace the TIPM.
