PINPOINT TEST C : No Power in RUN - Vehicles with a Conventional Ignition Switch: Notes

Diagnostic Overview 

No Power in RUN - Vehicles with a Conventional Ignition Switch 

Refer to Power Distribution/BCM for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions 

When the ignition switch is turned to the RUN position, a voltage signal is sent to the BCM. The BCM then activates the RUN/START relay and the RUN/ACC relay which distribute fused voltage to various components. The BCM uses a FET to control the RUN/START relay. The RUN/START relay receives voltage from BJB fuse 87 (5A).

The RUN/ACC relay is serviced as part of the BCM.

DTC Fault Trigger Conditions 

DTC Description Fault Trigger Conditions
B1310:14 Run/Start Control: Circuit Short to Ground or Open The BCM continuously monitors the control side of the RUN/START relay. This DTC is set if the BCM detects an open or a short to ground on the control circuit. When this DTC sets, the control side of the RUN/START relay is disabled via the FET. Once the condition that caused the DTC to set is repaired, the BCM must pass a self-test in order for the DTC to clear and the system to resume normal operation.

Visual Inspection and Diagnostic Pre-checks 

Make sure BJB fuse 87 (5A) is OK.
