   Is there battery voltage?

   YES 

   The +B SMART wire and GND wire is OK. Go to step 3.

   NO 

   Go to step 6.

3. Shorted wire check (SS1 (+), SS2 (-) lines)

   -1. Disconnect the following connector.

   Body control module connector C (66P)

   -2. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2 individually.

   Test condition	Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode Power switch 10P connector: disconnected Body control module connector C (66P): disconnected
   Test point 1	Power switch 10P connector (female terminals) No. 6:
   Test point 2	Body ground

   Test point 1	Power switch 10P connector (female terminals) No. 10:

   Is there continuity?

   YES 

   Repair short to ground in the wire.

   NO 

   The SS1 (+) and SS2 (-) wires are not shorted. Go to step 4.

4. Open wire check (SS1 (+), SS2 (-) lines)

   -1. Connect terminals A and B with a jumper wire.

   Terminal A	Body control module connector C (66P) No. 63
   Terminal B	Body control module connector C (66P) No. 5

   -2. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

   Is there continuity?

   YES 

   The SS1 (+) and SS2 (-) wires are OK. Go to step 5.

   NO 

   Repair an open or high resistance in the wire.

5. Power switch check

   -1. Do the power switch test .

   Is the power switch OK?

   YES 

   Replace the body control module .

   NO 

   Replace the power switch .

6. Open wire check (+B SMART line)

   -1. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.

   Test condition	Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode Power switch 10P connector: disconnected
   Test point 1	Power switch 10P connector (female terminals) No. 5:
   Test point 2	Body ground
