Pinpoint Test K : B108A:12

  1. K1 CHECK THE START/STOP SWITCH 1 (Crk_Fact_B1) PID

    • Using a scan tool, view RFA module PIDs.
    • Monitor the RFA module PID Crk_Fact_B1 while pressing and releasing the start/stop switch.

    Does the PID display YES when the start/stop switch is pressed and NO when the start/stop switch is released? 

    Yes  GO to  K5.
    No  GO to  K2.
  2. K2 ISOLATE THE START/STOP SWITCH

    • Disconnect: Start/stop Switch.
    • Monitor the RFA module PID Crk_Fact_B1.

    Does the PID change from YES to NO when the start/stop switch is disconnected? 

    Yes  INSTALL a new start/stop switch. REFER to Start/Stop Switch .
    No  GO to  K3.
  3. K3 ISOLATE THE BCM

    • Disconnect: BCM C2280B.
    • Monitor the RFA module PID Crk_Fact_B1.

    Does the PID change from YES to NO when the BCM is disconnected? 

    Yes  INSTALL a new BCM. REFER to Multifunction Electronic Modules .
    No  GO to  K4.
  4. K4 ISOLATE THE PCM

    • Disconnect: PCM C175B (3.7L engine).
    • Disconnect: PCM C1381B (2.0L GTDI engine).
    • Disconnect: PCM C1551B (3.5L GTDI engine).
    • Monitor the RFA module PID Crk_Fact_B1.

    Does the PID change from YES to NO when the PCM is disconnected? 

    Yes  INSTALL a new PCM. REFER to Electronic Engine Controls .
    No  REPAIR the circuit CDC35 (BU/WH).
  5. K5 CHECK FOR CORRECT RFA MODULE OPERATION

    • Disconnect and inspect all RFA module connectors.
    • Repair:
      • corrosion (install new connector or terminals - clean module pins)
      • damaged or bent pins - install new terminals/pins
      • pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary
    • Reconnect the RFA module connectors and all previously disconnected exterior system connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.
    • Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.

    Is the concern still present? 

    Yes  CHECK OASIS for any applicable TSBs. If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW TSB instructions. If no TSBs address this concern, INSTALL a new RFA module. REFER to Multifunction Electronic Modules .
    No  The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by module connections. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
