Diagnostic Test

  1. CHECK FOR ACTIVE DTC 
    1. With the scan tool, record and erase DTCs.
    2. Cycle the ignition switch from off to on, leaving the ignition off for a minimum of 30 seconds.
    3. With the scan tool, read the active DTCs.

      Does the scan tool display this DTC as active?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  2

      No 

  2. INSPECT THE TIPM AND ORC TERMINALS AND WIRE HARNESS FOR A CONDITION CAUSING HIGH CIRCUIT RESISTANCE

    WARNING: To avoid possible serious or fatal injury, turn the ignition off, disconnect the battery and wait two minutes before proceeding.
    1. Disconnect the TIPM C7 harness connector.
    2. Disconnect the ORC harness connector.
    3. Inspect the connector terminal for signs of corrosion build up and damage.
    4. Visually inspect the wiring harness for any chafed, pierced, pinched or partially broken wires hidden in the wire insulation.

      Were any of the above conditions found?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to step  3

    1. Connect the 8443-24 Load Tool ORC Adaptor to the ORC C2 connector.
    2. Connect one end of a jumper wire to the 8443-24 Load Tool ORC Adaptor, and connect the other end to a clean chassis ground.

    3. Using a 12 volt test light connected to 12 volts, probe the (F200) Fused Ignition Switch Output (Run-Start) Circuit in the TIPM C7 harness connector.

      Does the test light illuminate brightly?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  4

      No
