Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems - Off
    NOTE: Circuit/System Verification must be performed before proceeding with Circuit/System Testing.
    NOTE: It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down before an accurate ground or low reference circuit continuity test can be performed.
  2. Disconnect the electrical connector: S3 Transmission Shift Lever
  3. Test for less than 10 Ω between the test points: Ground circuit terminal 2 & Ground
    • If 10 Ω or greater 
    1. Disconnect the ground connection: G201
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω between the test points: Ground circuit terminal 2 @ Component harness & Ground terminal G201
      • 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 
  4. Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode
  5. Verify the scan tool parameter: Driver Shift Control Mode Switch @ K9 Body Control Module=Inactive
    • If not the specified state 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle - Off
    2. Disconnect the electrical connector: X2 K9 Body Control Module
    3. Test for infinite resistance between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 11 @ Control module harness & Ground
      • If less than infinite resistance - Repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance - Replace the component: K9 Body Control Module
    • If the specified state, go to next step 
  6. Connect a 3 A fused jumper wire between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 3 @ Component harness & Ground circuit terminal 2
  7. Verify the scan tool parameter: Driver Shift Control Mode Switch=Invalid
    • If not the specified state 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle - Off & Remove - Jumper wire(s)
    2. Disconnect the electrical connector: X2 K9 Body Control Module
    3. Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode
    4. Test for less than 1 V between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 11 Control module harness & Ground
      • If 1 V or greater - Repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • If less than 1 V
    5. Ignition/Vehicle - Off
    6. Test for less than 2 Ω between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 3 @ Component harness & Signal circuit terminal 11 @ Control module harness
      • If 2 Ω or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω - Replace the component: K9 Body Control Module
    • If the specified state, go to next step 
  8. Test or replace the component: S2 Transmission Manual Shift Switch
