July 1: So it begins. Don't worry, this is not in the correct legal jurisdiction!

Circuit/System Verification

  1. Ignition ON.
  2. Verify that no ignition, starter pinion solenoid actuator relay, starter motor relay, brake pedal position sensor, immobilizer, engine, or automatic transmission DTCs are set that would cause the ECM to disable engine starting.
    • Go to next step: If no DTCs are set 
  3. Verify the scan tool BCM 5 V Ignition Switch (vehicles without push button start) or ECM Power Mode (vehicles with push button start) parameter is Crank Request while attempting to start the vehicle.
    • Go to next step: If parameter displays Crank Request 
  4. Verify the scan tool ECM Crankshaft Position Active Counter parameter is not incrementing.
    • If the counter increments 

      Replace the B26 Crankshaft Position Sensor.

    • Go to next step: If the counter does not increment 
  5. Verify the crank relay clicks and the engine begins cranking with the ignition in the Crank position.
    • If the KR27C Starter Pinion Solenoid Actuator Relay does not click 

      Refer to Circuit/System Testing.

    • Go to next step: If the KR27C Starter Pinion Solenoid Actuator Relay clicks 
  6. All OK.
