Pinpoint Test AR: DTC U2472

Normal Operation

With the ignition switch in the START or RUN position, the Instrument Cluster (IC) receives RUN/START and keep-alive voltage from the Smart Junction Box (SJB). The IC is grounded through a single hardwired ground circuit.

- DTC U2472 (Unexpected Ignition State) - a continuous memory DTC that sets in the IC when it detects a discrepancy between the hardwired voltage input and the messaged ignition state inputs from the SJB for greater than 5 seconds when the ignition switch is in the RUN position.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

- Fuse(s)
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- SJB
- IC


PINPOINT TEST AR: DTC U2472

NOTICE: Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.

-------------------------------------------------
AR1 CHECK THE IC RUN/START VOLTAGE SUPPLY


- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: IC C220.
- Ignition ON.
- Measure the voltage between the IC C220-20, circuit CBP29 (WH/VT), harness side and ground.




- Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?

Yes
GO to AR2.

No
VERIFY the SJB fuse 29 (5A) is OK. If OK, REPAIR the circuit. If not OK, REFER to the Wiring Diagrams to identify the possible causes of the circuit short. TEST the system for normal operation. Diagrams By Number

-------------------------------------------------
AR2 CHECK THE SJB INPUT PIDs FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH


- Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: SJB DataLogger.
- Select the ignition switch ACC (IGN_A_ECU), ignition switch OFF (IGN_O_ECU), ignition switch RUN (IGN_R_ECU), and ignition switch START (IGN_S_ECU) PIDs. Monitor the ignition switch PIDs while cycling the ignition switch from ACC, OFF, RUN and START.
- Do the SJB PIDs match the ignition switch position?

Yes
GO to AR3.

No
REFER to Steering Column Switches Testing and Inspection to diagnose the ignition switch outputs to the SJB.

-------------------------------------------------
AR3 CHECK THE IC DTCs


- Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: IC Self-Test.
- Clear the DTCs. Repeat the IC self-test.
- Is DTC U2472 still present?

Yes
GO to AR4.

No
The system is operating correctly at this time. The DTC may have been set due to high network traffic.

-------------------------------------------------
AR4 CHECK FOR CORRECT SJB OPERATION


- Disconnect all the SJB connectors.
- Check for:
- corrosion
- damaged pins
- pushed-out pins
- Connect all the SJB connectors and make sure they seat correctly.
- Operate the system and verify that the concern is still present.
- Is the concern still present?

Yes
INSTALL a new SJB. REFER to Multifunction Electronic Modules Service and Repair. TEST the system for normal operation.

If the concern remains, REINSTALL the original SJB and INSTALL a new IC. REFER to Instrument Cluster (IC) Instrument Cluster (IC). 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.
