Causes
- Faulty key-inserted switch or reader (mechanical or electrical failure)
- Open or short in wiring harness between switch/reader and body/immobilizer control module
- Corroded or loose connector at the switch, antenna coil or control module
- Blown fuse or poor power/ground supply to the key detection circuitry
- Faulty body control module (BCM) or immobilizer module
- Faulty key transponder or damaged key
Symptoms
- Immobilizer or key warning lamp illuminated
- Vehicle does not recognize key or will not crank
- Warnings on instrument cluster such as "Key not detected"
- Intermittent start/no-start condition when key is inserted
- No change in key-inserted status reported by diagnostic tool
- Inability to lock/unlock or start with remote/key functions affected
What to check
- Read and record freeze frame and stored codes with a capable scan tool; check for related immobilizer or network codes
- Visually inspect fuse(s) related to the body/immobilizer/key reader
- Inspect connectors and wiring at the ignition switch/reader, antenna coil and control module for corrosion, pin damage, or water ingress
- Wiggle test wiring and connectors while monitoring the key-detected parameter with a scan tool
- Measure supply voltage and ground at the key-inserted switch/reader connector with key inserted and removed
- Attempt with a known-good/spare key to rule out a damaged transponder key
Signal parameters
- Expected: Key-inserted signal = battery voltage (approx. 12 V) or logic-level high when key inserted; 0 V or logic low when removed (verify with wiring diagram)
- Switch/reader contact resistance: near 0 ohms (closed) when key inserted; open circuit when removed
- CAN/diagnostic parameter: key-present flag should change state in BCM/immobilizer data stream when key is inserted/removed
- Continuity between switch/reader signal pin and BCM/immobilizer input pin (low ohms)
- If fitted, antenna coil impedance within manufacturer spec (requires wiring diagram/service info)
Diagnostic algorithm
- Confirm code B1352 with a techno-specific scan tool and check for coexisting codes (immobilizer, BCM, network). Note freeze-frame data.
- Check relevant fuses and relays for the body/immobilizer/key reader circuit; replace any blown fuse and retest.
- Visually inspect the ignition barrel/key reader, antenna coil and associated connectors for damage, corrosion or foreign objects; clean and reseat connectors.
- With the ignition switch/key reader accessible, backprobe the power, ground and signal pins and observe voltages with key inserted and removed. Compare to expected signal parameters.
- Perform a continuity/resistance check between the key-inserted switch/reader signal pin and the BCM/immobilizer module input pin; repair any open or high-resistance wiring.
- If intermittent, perform a wiggle test of harnesses while monitoring the key-detected parameter for changes; repair broken wires or terminal issues.
- Test with a known-good spare key to rule out a damaged transponder; if spare works, service or replace primary key.
- If wiring, power and the switch/reader pass tests but code remains, consult manufacturer wiring diagrams and consider replacing the key reader/antenna coil assembly.
- If the new reader still fails or wiring checks are satisfactory, suspect BCM/immobilizer module fault—verify network communications and module power/grounds before module replacement or reprogramming. Use dealer-level procedures for module replacement/programming.
- After any repair, clear codes and confirm the fault does not return under normal operation; recheck with scan tool for proper key-detected status.
Likely causes
- Intermittent or missing 12 V supply to the key inserted switch/reader
- Broken wire or connector pin corrosion at the ignition barrel/reader connector
- Failed proximity/antenna coil (key reader) around the ignition
- Ground fault causing unreliable signal return
- Software/firmware fault or internal failure in BCM/immobilizer module
Fault status
Status
Key inserted circuit fault detected — key presence signal missing or inconsistent.
Repair difficulty: Medium
