Circuit/System Testing

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate E5 backup lamp.
  2. Ignition OFF, exterior lamps OFF, test for less than 5 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 3 and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  3. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 2 and ground.
  4. Ignition ON, command the Backup Lamps ON and OFF with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
    • If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 body control module.
    • If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 body control module.
  5. If all circuits test normal, replace the E5 backup lamp.
