Retrieve freeze frame and any additional stored codes with a qualified scan tool
Visually inspect ignition switch, key module, connectors and wiring for damage or corrosion
Check relevant fuses and fusible links for continuity and proper rating
Backprobe accessory position 1 signal wire and measure voltage with key OFF, ACC, RUN
Wiggle test wiring while monitoring signal to find intermittent faults
Compare signal to reference values and to other accessory inputs if available

Key OFF: accessory circuit usually 0 V or open
Key ACC (Accessory): circuit should show battery voltage (~11–14 V) on ACC input
Key RUN: circuit may stay at battery voltage or change depending on vehicle design
Short to ground: near 0 V under all key positions
Short to battery: constant battery voltage regardless of key position
Intermittent: fluctuating voltage or bouncing between 0 V and battery voltage

Connect a dealer-level or full-function scan tool, read DTC B1359 and related codes; record freeze frame data and monitor ACC input parameter if available.
Verify fuses serving the ignition/accessory circuits. Replace only if blown and retest. If fuse blows again, suspect short.
With ignition OFF, visually inspect connectors at ignition switch/key module, steering column, and BCM for loose pins, corrosion or damage.
Backprobe the accessory position 1 signal at the ignition switch harness. Turn key to OFF/ACC/RUN positions and confirm expected voltages (see signal_params).
If no proper voltage at switch output, test for power feed presence on the switch and for continuity to the BCM. Repair wiring or terminals as needed.
If proper signal at switch but BCM does not register it, check continuity from switch to BCM, and inspect intermediate connectors. Repair open/shorts.
Perform a wiggle and load test to identify intermittent faults (move harnesses while observing signal).
If wiring and connectors are good and signal is correct at BCM connector but code remains, consider BCM input fault. Reflash or replace BCM only after confirming wiring and verifying with manufacturer procedures.
Clear codes and verify repair by cycling key through positions and road/testing accessories to ensure the DTC does not return.
