Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2022 Cadillac CT5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems - Off
- Disconnect the electrical connector: B75 Mass Airflow Sensor
- Test for less than 5 ohms between the test points: Ground circuit terminal 4 & Ground
- If 5 ohms or greater
- Disconnect the electrical connector: K20 Engine Control Module
- Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points: Ground circuit terminal 4@Component harness & Ground terminal G175
- If 2 ohms or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 ohms - Repair the open/high resistance in the ground connection.
- Go to next step: If less than 5 ohms
- Ignition - On/Vehicle - In Service Mode
- Verify a test lamp turns On between the test points: Ignition circuit terminal 1 & Ground
- If the test lamp does not turn On and the circuit fuse is OK
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off & Remove - Test lamp
- Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points: Ignition circuit terminal 1@Control module harness & Output terminal@Fuse
- If 2 ohms or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 ohms - Verify the fuse is OK and there is voltage at the fuse.
- If the test lamp does not turn On and the circuit fuse is open
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- Replace the component: Fuse
- Ignition - On/Vehicle - In Service Mode
- Verify the fuse does not open.
- If the fuse opens and there are components connected to the circuit - Disconnect a component and repeat procedure starting at step 5.1 - 5.4
- If the fuse opens with all components disconnected from the circuit - Repair the short to ground on the circuit.
- If the fuse does not open after disconnecting a component from the circuit - Replace the component disconnected last.
- Go to next step: If the fuse does not open.
- Operate the component: Each component on the circuit - One at a time
Verify the fuse does not open when any of the components are activated.
- If the fuse opens - Replace the component that caused the fuse to open when activated.
- Go to next step: If the fuse does not open.
- All OK.
NOTE:It may be necessary to use a scan tool control function to operate a component.
- Go to next step: If the test lamp turns On
- Test for 9 to 11 V between the test points: Serial Data circuit terminal 3 & Ground
- If less than 9 V
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- Disconnect the appropriate electrical connector: @K20 Engine Control Module
- Test for infinite resistance between the test points: Serial Data circuit terminal 3@Component harness & Ground
- If less than infinite resistance - Repair the short to ground on the circuit.
- Go to next step: If infinite resistance
- Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points: Serial Data circuit terminal 3@Component harness & The other end of the circuit@Control module harness
- If 2 ohms or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 ohms - Replace the component: K20 Engine Control Module
- If greater than 11 V
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- Disconnect the appropriate electrical connector: @K20 Engine Control Module
- Ignition - On/Vehicle - In Service Mode
- Test for less than 1 V between the test points: Serial Data circuit terminal 3@Component harness & Ground
- If 1 V or greater - Repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
- If less than 1 V - Replace the component: K20 Engine Control Module
- Go to next step: If between 9 and 11 V
- Replace the component: B75 Mass Airflow Sensor
NOTE:
It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down before an accurate ground or low reference circuit continuity test can be performed.
