Pinpoint Test A: The Brake Shift Interlock System Does Not Release/Lock Correctly

  1. A1 TEST THE BRAKE LIGHTS 
    • Apply the brake pedal and view the brake lights.
    • Do the brake lights illuminate? 
  2. A2 TEST SJB FUSE 5 (10A) 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Check fuse: 5 (10A).
    • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 
    • Yes:  GO to A3  .
    • No:  INSTALL a new fuse. GO to A3  .
  3. A3 TEST THE BSIA POWER CIRCUIT 
    • Disconnect: Selector Lever Harness C3245.
    • Ignition ON.
    • Measure the voltage between selector lever harness C3245-1, circuit CET53 (BU/OG) and ground, while applying the brake pedal.

    • Is the voltage greater than 10 volts? 
    • Yes:  GO to  A6.
    • No:  GO to A4  .
  4. A4 TEST THE BSIA POWER CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect: Smart Junction Box (SJB) C2280F.
    • Measure the resistance between selector lever harness C3245-1, circuit CET53 (BU/OG) and ground.

    • Is the resistance greater than 10,000 ohms? 
    • Yes:  GO to A5  .
    • No:  REPAIR circuit CET53 (BU/OG) for a short to ground. TEST the system for normal operation.
  5. A5 TEST THE BSIA POWER CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN 
    • Measure the resistance between selector lever harness C3245-1, circuit CET53 (BU/OG) and SJB  C2280F-23, circuit CET53 (BU/OG).

    • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 
    • Yes:  INSTALL a new SJB  . TEST the system for normal operation.
    • No:  REPAIR circuit CET53 (BU/OG) for an open.
  6. A6 TEST THE BSIA GROUND CIRCUIT 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Measure the resistance between the selector lever harness C3245-5, circuit GD114 (BK/BU) and ground.
