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.
    NOTE:

    Each accent lamp may need to be disconnected to isolate the short to ground. Use the schematic to identify the following:

    • All accent lamps equipped with the vehicle
    • Component locations on the accent light control circuit
    • Each component's control circuit terminals
  1. 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.
  2. Test for less than 15 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 1 and ground.
    • If 15 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 15 Ω 
  3. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 2 and ground, ignition ON.
  4. 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 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X6 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, disconnect the X6 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, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
    • If the test lamp turns ON and OFF 
  5. Test or replace the appropriate E1 Accent Lamp
