Possible Causes

CAUTION:
  • Use the correct probe adaptor(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adaptor(s) may damage the connector.
KEY-IN-IGNITION WARNING CHIME DOES NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY - PINPOINT TEST REFERENCE

PINPOINT TEST 1 KEY-IN-IGNITION WARNING CHIME DOES NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY
STEP INSPECTION ACTION
1 RETRIEVE THE RECORDED DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCs) FROM BOTH THE CONTINUOUS AND ON-DEMAND INSTRUMENT CLUSTER SELF-TESTS
  • Retrieve the recorded DTCs from the instrument cluster continuous and on-demand self-tests.
  • Is DTC B1352 retrieved? 
Yes GO to step 3.
No Go to next step.
2 CHECK THE DOOR AJAR WARNING INDICATOR
  • Key in ON position.
  • With the driver door opened, observe the door ajar warning indicator.
  • Does the door ajar warning indicator operate correctly? 
Yes Go to next step.
No REFER to SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING CHART - INSTRUMENT CLUSTER , to continue diagnosis of the door ajar indicator.
3 CHECK THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER KEY-IN-IGNITION PID
  • Key in ON position.
  • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the IDS or equivalent tester:
    • Instrument Cluster PID
  • Select the instrument cluster ignition switch status. Select the PID IGN_KEY and monitor the PID with the key in the ignition lock cylinder.
  • Does the PID match the key-in-ignition switch position? 
Yes GO to step 8.
No Go to next step.
4 CHECK THE KEY-IN-IGNITION SWITCH OPERATION
  • Key in OFF position.
  • Disconnect: Clockspring connector 0922-202a
  • Key in ON position.
  • Connect a fused (5A) wire between the clockspring connector 0922-202a pin 10, circuit (L/GY), harness side and ground.
  • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the IDS or equivalent tester:
    • Instrument Cluster PID
  • Select the instrument cluster ignition switch status. Select the PID IGN_KEY and monitor the PID with the jumper wire disconnected and connected.
  • Does the PID indicate the key is out when the jumper wire is disconnected and in when the jumper wire is connected? 
Yes Remove the jumper wire. Go to step 7.
No Go to next step.
5 CHECK CIRCUIT (L/GY) FOR AN OPEN
  • Key in OFF position.
  • Disconnect: Instrument Cluster connector 0922-102.
  • Measure the resistance between the instrument cluster connector 0922-102 pin 4, circuit (L/GY), harness side and the clockspring connector 0922-202a pin 10, circuit (L/GY), harness side.
  • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 
Yes Go to next step.
No REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
6 CHECK CIRCUIT (L/GY) FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
  • Key in OFF position.
  • Disconnect: Instrument Cluster connector 0922-102
  • Measure the resistance between the instrument cluster connector 0922-102 pin 4, circuit (L/GY), harness side and ground.
  • Is the resistance greater than 10,000 ohms? 
Yes Go to next step.
No REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
7 CHECK THE CLOCKSPRING FOR AN OPEN
  • Key in OFF position.
  • Measure the resistance between the lower clockspring pin 10, component side and the key-in-ignition warning switch circuit, component side.
  • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 
Yes INSTALL a new key-in-ignition warning switch. REFER to KEY-IN-IGNITION WARNING SWITCH . TEST the system for normal operation.
No INSTALL a new clockspring. REFER to CLOCKSPRING , . TEST the system for normal operation.
8 CHECK FOR CORRECT INSTRUMENT CLUSTER OPERATION
  • Disconnect all the instrument cluster connectors.
  • Check for:
    • corrosion
    • damaged pins
    • pushed-out pins
  • Connect all the instrument cluster connectors and make sure they seat correctly.
  • Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
  • Is the concern still present? 
Yes Install a new instrument cluster. see INSTRUMENT CLUSTER . Test the system for normal operation.
No The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector.
