Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Buick LaCrosse and 2008 Buick Allure. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- The roof rail module - right
- The SDM module
- The roof rail module - right wiring harness connector
- The SDM wiring harness connector
- Ignition OFF, remove the right garnish molding and disconnect the roof rail module.
- Use the J 38715-30A adapter to connect the J 38715-A to the harness side of the roof rail module connector. See Special Tools . Use the PASSENGER INFLATOR connector located on the load tool.
- Ignition ON, use a scan tool to observe the SIR DTC display. Verify DTC B0028, B0029, or B0030 is set in current.
- If DTC B0028, B0029, or B0030 is history replace the roof rail module - right.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect and remove both the J 38715-A and adapter. See Special Tools .
- Disconnect the SDM harness connector.
- Test and repair the high and low circuits between the SDM and roof rail module - right for a short to voltage, short to ground, open/high resistance, or short together. Verify that a short to voltage, short to ground, open/high resistance, or short together does not exist.
- If any of the above conditions are found make the appropriate repair.
- If all circuits test normal then replace the SDM.
IMPORTANT:
When removing connectors inspect for damage or corrosion. Damage or corrosion in the following requires repair or replacement of the affected component/connector.
