Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 GMC Acadia, 2016 Chevrolet Traverse, and 2016 Buick Enclave. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X5 in-line harness connector at the K32 Heated Steering Wheel Control Module.
  2. Test for less than 10 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 2 and ground.
    • If 10 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.
    • If less than 10 Ω 
  3. Ignition ON.
  4. Verify a test lamp illuminates between the ignition voltage 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 2 Ω in the ignition circuit end to end.
      • If less than 2 Ω, verify the fuse is OK and there is voltage at the fuse. Refer to Power Mode Mismatch .
      • If 2 Ω or greater
    3. Verify the in-line fuse is OK and there is voltage at the fuse.
      • If the in-line fuse is blown, replace the K32 Steering Wheel Heating Control Module.
      • If the in-line fuse is OK, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is open 
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the ignition voltage circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance, replace the K32 Steering Wheel Heating Control Module.
    • If the test lamp illuminates 
  5. Ignition OFF, connect the X5 in-line harness connector. Disconnect the harness connector at the S70L Steering Wheel Controls Switch - Left.
  6. Test for less than 10 Ω between the ground terminal 8 and ground.
    • If 10 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.
    • If less than 10 Ω 
  7. Connect the harness connector at the S70L Steering Wheel Controls Switch - Left.
  8. Disconnect the in-line connector at the S70L Steering Wheel Controls Switch - Left.
  9. Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the indicator control circuit terminal 2 and B+.
  10. Verify the heated steering wheel indicator is illuminated.
    • If the indicator does not illuminate 

      Replace the S70L Steering Wheel Controls Switch - Left.

    • If the indicator illuminates 
  11. Replace the K32 Steering Wheel Heating Control Module.
