Test 5A - Repairing Ignition Input Circuit

NOTE: For connector terminal identification, refer to CONNECTOR IDENTIFICATION  . For wiring diagrams, see WIRING DIAGRAM  .
NOTE: Perform TEST 1A  before proceeding with TEST 5A.
  1. Turn ignition off. Disconnect VTA module. See Figure in TEST 1A and see VEHICLE THEFT ALARM MODULE  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Inspect VTA module connector, clean and repair as needed. Turn ignition to RUN position. Using DRB in voltmeter mode, check voltage at VTA module connector terminal No. 12 (Light Green/Red wire). If voltage is more than 10 volts, replace VTA module. Perform TEST VER-1  . If voltage is less than 10 volts, remove circuit breaker No. 27 from fuse block.
  2. Using DRB in voltmeter mode, check voltage at left side (Black/White wire) of circuit breaker No. 27 receptacle. If voltage is less than 10 volts, repair open Black/White wire circuit between ignition switch and circuit breaker. If voltage is more than 10 volts, go to next step.
  3. Using DRB in ohmmeter mode, check resistance at VTA module connector terminal No. 12 (Light Green/Red wire). If resistance is less than 5 ohms, repair short to ground in Light Green/Red wire circuit and replace circuit breaker No. 27. Perform TEST VER-1  . If resistance is more than 5 ohms, go to next step.
  4. Using an ohmmeter, check resistance between VTA module connector terminal No. 12 (Light Green/Red wire) and right side (Light Green/Red wire) of circuit breaker No. 27. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, replace circuit breaker No. 27. Perform TEST VER-1  . If resistance is more than 5 ohms, repair open Light Green/Red wire circuit between circuit breaker No. 27 and VTA module connector terminal No. 12. Perform TEST VER-1  .
