Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Chevrolet Suburban 3500 HD. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the S48A Multifunction Switch - Instrument Panel. It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down.
  2. Test for less than 5 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 14 and ground.
    • If 5 Ω or greater 
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the ground circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, repair the open/high resistance in the ground connection.
    • Go to next step: If less than 5 Ω 
  3. Ignition ON.
  4. Verify the scan tool Hill Descent Control Switch parameter is Inactive.
    • If not Inactive 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X4 harness connector at the K9 Body Control Module.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit terminal 19 X4 and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
    • Go to next step: If Inactive 
  5. Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 4 and the ground circuit terminal 14.
  6. Verify the scan tool Hill Descent Control Switch parameter is Active.
    • If not Active 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X4 harness connector at the K9 Body Control Module, ignition ON.
    2. Test for less than 1 V between the signal circuit and ground.
      • If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • Go to next step: If less than 1 V
    3. Test for less than 2 Ω in the signal circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
    • Go to next step: If Active 
  7. Test or replace the S48A Multifunction Switch - Instrument Panel.
