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, exterior lamps OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate component listed below, ignition ON.
    • E1Z Accent Lamp - Middle Instrument Panel
    • E1H Accent Lamp - Right Instrument Panel
    • E1G Accent Lamp - Left Instrument Panel
  2. Verify a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 1 and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is good 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the X51A Fuse Block - Instrument Panel.
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the B+ circuit end to end.
      • If 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 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the X51A Fuse Block - Instrument Panel.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the B+ circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance, replace the X51A Fuse Block - Instrument Panel.
    • If the test lamp illuminates 
  3. Ignition OFF.
  4. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 1 and terminal 2, ignition ON.
  5. Verify the test lamp turns ON and OFF when commanding the Accent Lighting 1 ON and OFF with a scan tool.
    • If the test lamp is always ON 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X3 harness connector at the K9 Body Control Module.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the control circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
    • If the test lamp is always OFF 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X3 harness connector at the K9 Body Control Module, ignition ON.
    2. Test for less than 1 V between the control circuit terminal and ground.
      • If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • If less than 1 V
    3. Test for less than 2 Ω in the control 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.
    • If the test lamp turns ON and OFF 
  6. Test or replace the appropriate E1 Accent Lamp.
