Circuit/System Testing

Without BTM

  1. Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the KR73 Ignition Main Relay. It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down.
  2. Test for less than 10Ω between the ground circuit terminal 85 and ground.
    • If 10Ω or greater 
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Test for less than 2Ω in the ground circuit end to end.
      • If 2Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2Ω, repair the open/high resistance in the ground connection.
    • If less than 10Ω 
  3. Ignition ON, connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 86 and ground circuit terminal 85.
  4. Verify the test lamp turns ON and OFF when commanding the Run/Crank relay On and Off with a scan tool.
    • If the test lamp is always OFF 
    1. Ignition OFF, remove the test lamp, disconnect the harness connector at the K9 Body Control Module.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the control circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance
    3. Test for less than 2Ω in the control circuit end to end.
      • If 2Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2Ω, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
    • If the test lamp is always ON 
    1. Ignition OFF, remove the test lamp, disconnect the harness connector at the K9 Body Control Module, ignition ON.
    2. Test for less than 1V between the control circuit and ground.
      • If 1V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • If less than 1V, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
    • If the test lamp turns ON and OFF 
  5. Test or replace the KR73 Ignition Main Relay.

With BTM

  1. Ignition ON, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the K84 Keyless Entry Control Module.
  2. Verify a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 1 and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is good 
    1. Ignition OFF, remove the test lamp.
    2. Test for less than 2Ω in the B+ circuit end to end.
      • If 2Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2Ω, verify the fuse is good and there is voltage at the fuse.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is open 
    1. Ignition OFF, remove the test lamp.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the ignition circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance, replace the K84 Keyless Entry Control Module.
    • If the test lamp illuminates 
  3. Ignition OFF, connect the X2 harness connector at the K84 Keyless Entry Control Module and disconnect the X3 harness connector at the K9 Body Control Module.
  4. Test for less than 1V between the ignition circuit terminal 6 and ground.
    • If 1V or greater 

      Repair the short to voltage on the circuit.

    • If less than 1V 
  5. Ignition ON.
  6. Verify a test lamp illuminates between the ignition circuit terminal 6 and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate 
    1. Ignition OFF, remove the test lamp.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the ignition circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance.
    3. Test for less than 2Ω in the ignition circuit end to end.
      • If 2Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2Ω, replace the K84 Keyless Entry Control Module.
    • If the test lamp illuminates 
  7. Ignition OFF, remove the test lamp, connect the X3 harness connector at the K9 Body Control Module.
  8. Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the KR73 Ignition Main Relay. It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down.
  9. Test for less than 10Ω between the ground circuit terminal 85 and ground.
    • If 10Ω or greater 
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Test for less than 2Ω in the ground circuit end to end.
      • If 2Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2Ω, repair the open/high resistance in the ground connection.
    • If less than 10Ω 
  10. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 86 and the ground circuit terminal 85.
  11. Verify the test lamp turns ON and OFF when commanding the Run/Crank relay On and Off with a scan tool.
    • If the test lamp is always OFF 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K9 Body Control Module.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the control circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance.
    3. Test for less than 2Ω in the control circuit end to end.
      • If 2Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2Ω, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
