Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Door Lock Switch Malfunction
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the driver door lock switch.
- Test for less than 1 ohm between the ground circuit terminal 2 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Ignition ON, verify the scan tool Rear Doors Lock Cmd parameter is Off.
- If not the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal 1 for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- Verify the scan tool Rear Doors Unlock Cmd parameter is Off.
- If not the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal 3 for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 1 and ground. Verify the scan tool Rear Doors Lock Cmd parameter is On.
- If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 3 and ground. Verify the scan tool Rear Doors Unlock Cmd parameter is On.
- If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the driver door lock switch.
Door Lock Malfunction
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the I/P fuse block.
- Test for less than 1 ohm between the ground circuit terminal 57 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 56 and ground.
- Ignition ON, command the Lock Rear Doors 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 BCM
- 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 BCM
- Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 54 and B+.
- Command the doors to UNLOCK by using the driver door lock switch. The test lamp should illuminate when commanding the UNLOCK state.
- If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or and open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM
- Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 58 and B+.
- Command the doors to UNLOCK by using the driver door lock switch. The test lamp should illuminate when commanding the UNLOCK state.
- If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or and open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- Ignition OFF, connect the X1 harness connector at the I/P fuse block and disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate door latch.
- Test for less than 1 ohm between the control circuit terminal and ground of the door latch listed below:
- Driver door latch terminal 2
- Driver door latch terminal 3
- LR door latch terminal 2
- LR door latch terminal 3
- RR door latch terminal 5
- RR door latch terminal 6
- Passenger door latch terminal 5
- Passenger door latch terminal 6
- If greater than the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If circuits test normal, replace the I/P fuse block.
- Connect a test lamp between control circuit terminals of the door latch listed below:
- Driver door latch terminal 2 and terminal 3
- LR door latch terminal 2 and terminal 3
- RR door latch terminal 5 and terminal 6
- Passenger door latch terminal 5 and terminal 6
- Ignition ON, command the door latch to LOCK and UNLOCK by using the driver door lock switch. The test lamp should illuminate when commanding the LOCK and UNLOCK states.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate during either of the commands, test either control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuits test normal, replace the I/P fuse block.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the door latch.
