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.
- All accent lamps equipped with the vehicle
- Component locations on the accent light control circuit
- Each component's control circuit terminals
- Ignition OFF, scan tool disconnected, all doors closed, all accessories OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate E1 Accent Lamp. It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down.
- Test for less than 15 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 1 and ground.
- If 15 Ω or greater
- Ignition OFF.
- 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 15 Ω
- Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 2 and ground, ignition ON.
- 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 OFF
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X6 harness connector at the K9 Body Control Module.
- 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
- 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
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X6 harness connector at the K9 Body Control Module, ignition ON.
- 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, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
- If the test lamp turns ON and OFF
- Test or replace the appropriate E1 Accent Lamp
NOTE:
Each accent lamp may need to be disconnected to isolate the short to ground. Use the schematic to identify the following:
