Ignition Run/Start Input Mismatch - IPM






IGNITION RUN/START INPUT MISMATCH - IPM





For a complete wiring diagram refer to Diagrams/Electrical.

- When Monitored:

When the IPM is powered up.

- Set Condition:

IPM internal sense detects the hardwire IGN Run Switch in I/O's = "OFF" (no voltage), and the Ignition State in Monitors = "Start" (BCM Ignition Switch MUX-based PCI bus data) for 5 seconds.





Diagnostic Test

1. TEST B(+) AT IPM FUSE #30





NOTE: Ensure the battery is fully charged and battery cables are properly tightened.

NOTE: Ensure the IPM battery and ground connections are clean and properly tightened.

- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. Body Verification Test

No

- Go To 7

7. IPM - INTERNAL SHORT TO RUN-START SENSE





Turn the ignition off.

Disconnect the IPM C9 harness connector.

Remove the Fuel Pump relay from the IPM.

Measure the resistance between ground and the IPM C9, terminal pin 13.

Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

Yes
