Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2022 Cadillac CT4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition "OFF" and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the harness connectors at the appropriate control module that is setting the DTC. It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down.
- Test for less than 10 Ω between each ground circuit terminal and ground.
- If 10 Ω or greater
- ignition "OFF".
- Test for less than 2 Ω in the ground circuit end to end.
- If the measured resistance is 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 10 Ω
- Verify a test lamp illuminates between each B+ circuit terminal and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is good
- ignition "OFF".
- Test for less than 2 Ω in the B+ circuit end to end.
- If the measured resistance is 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 Ω, verify the fuse is not open and there is voltage at the fuse.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is open
- ignition "OFF".
- Test for infinite resistance between the B+ circuit and ground.
- If the measured resistance is not infinite, repair the short to ground in the circuit.
- If the measured resistance is infinity, replace the corresponding control module.
- Go to next step: If the test lamp is ON
- Ignition "ON".
- If equipped, verify a test lamp illuminates between each ignition circuit terminal and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is good
- Ignition "OFF".
- Test for less than 2 Ω in the ignition circuit end to end.
- If the measured resistance is 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 Ω, verify the fuse is not open and there is voltage at the fuse.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is open
- Ignition "OFF".
- Test for infinite resistance between the ignition circuit and ground.
- If the measured resistance is not infinite, repair the short to ground in the circuit.
- If the measured resistance is infinity, replace the corresponding control module.
- Go to next step: If the test lamp is ON
- Replace the appropriate control module.
NOTE:
If the component is not equipped with an ignition circuit proceed to Step 6.
