Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Pontiac G5 and 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Sunroof System Test
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the sunroof motor.
- Test for less than 5.0 Ω between the ground circuit terminal A and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Test for infinite resistance between the control circuit terminal C and ground.
- If less than the specified value, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the sunroof switch.
- Test for infinite resistance between the control circuit terminal D and ground.
- If less than the specified value, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the sunroof switch.
- Disconnect the harness connector at the sunroof switch.
- Test for less than 5.0 Ω between the ground circuit terminal A and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the ignition circuit terminal E and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ignition circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the sunroof motor.
- Connect the sunroof switch. Connect a test lamp between control circuit terminal C and ground.
- Press and release the sunroof close switch. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF.
- If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the sunroof switch.
- If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the sunroof switch.
- Connect a test lamp between control circuit terminal D and ground.
- Press and release the sunroof open switch. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF.
- If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the sunroof switch.
- If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the sunroof switch.
- Connect a test lamp between control circuit terminal B and ground.
- Press and release the sunroof vent switch. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF.
- If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the sunroof switch.
- If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the sunroof switch.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the sunroof motor.
