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.

Inside Review Mirror Dimming Inoperative

Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the A10 Inside Rearview Mirror. It may take up to 2 minutes for all vehicle systems to power down.
Test for less than 10 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 5 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
Ignition ON.
Verify a test lamp illuminates between the ignition circuit terminal 2 and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is good
1. Ignition OFF.
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, refer to Retained Accessory Power Malfunction .
- If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is open
1. Ignition OFF.
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, replace the A10 Inside Rearview Mirror.
- If the test lamp illuminates
Replace the A10 Inside Rearview Mirror.

Day-Night Disable Malfunction

Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the A10 Inside Rearview Mirror.
Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 1 and ground
Ignition ON, verify the test lamp turns ON and OFF while commanding the Backup Lamps Active and Inactive 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 terminal 1 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, refer to Backup Lamps Malfunction (Automatic Transmission)Backup Lamps Malfunction (Manual Transmission) .
- 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, refer to Backup Lamps Malfunction (Automatic Transmission)Backup Lamps Malfunction (Manual Transmission)
- If the test lamp turns ON and OFF
Replace the A10 Inside Rearview Mirror.
