Circuit Description
Normal vehicle Class 2 communication does not begin until the system power mode has been identified. The dash integration module (DIM) monitors four discrete wires from the ignition switch contacts in order to determine the present power mode. The DIM communicates the system power mode to all Class 2 modules on the Class 2 serial data line.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The DIM must be powered.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
One of the 4 monitored ignition switch circuits has malfunctioned.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The DIM implements default actions for each ignition switch position when faults are detected.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present. |
| • | A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold, without a repeat of the malfunction. |
Diagnostic Aids
| • | The following may cause an intermittent: |
| - | A bent terminal |
| - | A backed out terminal |
| - | A damaged terminal |
| - | Poor terminal tension |
| - | A chafed wire |
| - | A broken wire inside the insulation |
| • | When diagnosing for an intermittent condition refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents in wiring systems. |

3 |
Do all of the ignition switch parameters display Active? | Go to Step 4 | Go to Step 9 |
4 |
Do only the Run/Crank and Ign. Unlock parameters display Active? | Go to Step 5 | Go to Step 7 |
5 |
Does only the Ign. Unlock parameter display Active? | Go to Step 6 | Go to Step 7 |
6 |
Does only the Ign. Accessory parameter display Active? | Go to Step 11 | Go to Step 7 |
Does the previously Active state change to Inactive? | Go to Step 10 | Go to Step 8 | |
8 | Test the active power moding signal circuit for a short to voltage. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to Step 14 | Go to Step 11 |
9 | Test the inactive power moding signal circuit for a high resistance or an open. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to Step 14 | Go to Step 11 |
10 | Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the ignition switch. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to Step 14 | Go to Step 12 |
11 | Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the dash integration module (DIM). Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to Step 14 | Go to Step 13 |
12 | Replace the ignition switch. Refer to Ignition and Start Switch Replacement in Instrument Panel, Gages, and Console. Did you complete the replacement? | Go to Step 14 | -- |
13 |
Important:: Complete the set up procedures for the DIM. Replace the DIM. Refer to Control Module References for the applicable replacement procedure. Did you complete the replacement. | Go to Step 14 | -- |
