Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Chevrolet Trax and 2015 Buick Encore. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the KR76 Retained Accessory Power Relay. It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down.
  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 B+ circuit terminal 3 and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate 

      Replace the X51A Fuse Block - Instrument Panel.

    • If the test lamp illuminates 
  5. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 1 and the ground circuit terminal 2.
  6. Verify the test lamp turns ON and OFF when commanding the Accessory/Retained Accessory Power Relay On and Off with a scan tool.
    • If the test lamp is always OFF 
    1. Ignition OFF, remove the test lamp, disconnect the 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
    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 is always ON 
    1. Ignition OFF, remove the test lamp, disconnect the harness connector at the K9 Body Control Module, ignition ON.
    2. Test for less than 1 V between the control circuit and ground.
      • If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • If less than 1 V, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
    • If the test lamp turns ON and OFF 
  7. Connect the KR76 Retained Accessory Power Relay.
  8. Disconnect the appropriate E32 Cigarette Lighter Receptacle, X81 Accessory Power Receptacle, S79 Window Switch, or P2 Transmission Shift Lever Position Indicator.
  9. Ignition OFF.
  10. Verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between each of the ignition circuits listed below and ground.
    • E32 Cigarette Lighter Receptacle - Ignition circuit terminal A
    • P2 Transmission Shift Lever Position Indicator - Ignition circuit terminal 1
    • X81 Accessory Power Receptacle - 110V AC - Ignition circuit X1 terminal 1
    • S79P Window Switch - Passenger - Ignition circuit terminal 5
    • S79D Window Switch - Driver - Ignition circuit terminal 13
    • S79D Window Switch - Driver - Ignition circuit terminal 6
    • If the test lamp illuminates 

      Repair the short to voltage on the ignition circuit.

    • If the test lamp does not illuminate 
  11. Ignition ON.
  12. Verify that a test lamp illuminates between each of the ignition circuits listed below and ground.
    • E32 Cigarette Lighter Receptacle - Ignition circuit terminal A
    • P2 Transmission Shift Lever Position Indicator - Ignition circuit terminal 1
    • X81 Accessory Power Receptacle - 110V AC - Ignition circuit X1 terminal 1
    • S79P Window Switch - Passenger - Ignition circuit terminal 5
    • S79D Window Switch - Driver - Ignition circuit terminal 13
    • S79D Window Switch - Driver - Ignition circuit terminal 6
    • 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 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, test or replace the KR76 Retained Accessory Power Receptacle.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is open 
    1. Ignition OFF, remove the test lamp.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the ignition circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance, test or replace the appropriate E32 Cigarette Lighter Receptacle, X81 Accessory Power Receptacle, S79 Window Switch, or P2 Transmission Shift Lever Position Indicator.
    • If the test lamp illuminates 
  13. Test or replace the appropriate E32 Cigarette Lighter Receptacle, X81 Accessory Power Receptacle, S79 Window Switch, or P2 Transmission Shift Lever Position Indicator.
