Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2019 Buick Cascada, 2018 Buick Cascada, and 2017 Buick Cascada. 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 harness connector at the B19B Brake Booster Vacuum Sensor. It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down.
  2. Test for less than 10 Ω between the low reference circuit terminal 2 and ground.
    • If 10 Ω or greater 
    1. Disconnect the harness connector at the K17 Electronic Brake Control Module.
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the low reference circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, replace the K17 Electronic Brake Control Module.
    • Go to next step: If less than 10 Ω 
  3. Ignition ON.
  4. Test for 4.8 - 5.2 V between the 5 V reference circuit terminal 3 and ground.
    • If less than 4.8 V 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K17 Electronic Brake Control Module.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the 5 V reference circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • Go to next step: If infinite resistance.
    3. Test for less than 2 Ω in the 5 V reference circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, replace the K17 Electronic Brake Control Module.
    • If greater than 5.2 V 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K17 Electronic Brake Control Module, ignition ON.
    2. Test for less than 1 V between the 5 V reference circuit and ground.
      • If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • If less than 1 V, replace the K17 Electronic Brake Control Module.
    • Go to next step: If between 4.8 - 5.2 V 
  5. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K17 Electronic Brake Control Module, Ignition ON.
  6. Test for less than 1 V between the B19B Brake Booster Vacuum Sensor signal circuit terminal 1 and ground.
    • If greater than 1 V 

      Repair the short to voltage on the circuit.

    • Go to next step: If less than 1 V 
  7. Ignition OFF.
  8. Test for infinite resistance between the B19B Brake Booster Vacuum Sensor signal circuit terminal 1 and ground.
    • If less than infinite resistance 

      Repair the short to ground on the circuit.

    • Go to next step: If infinite resistance 
  9. Test for less than 2 Ω in the B19B Brake Booster Vacuum Sensor signal circuit end to end.
    • If 2 Ω or greater 

      Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.

    • Go to next step: If less than 2 Ω 
  10. Replace the B19B Brake Booster Vacuum Sensor.
  11. Verify the DTC does not set while operating the vehicle under Conditions for Running the DTC.
    • If the DTC sets 

      Replace the K17 Electronic Brake Control Module.

    • Go to next step: If the DTC does not set 
  12. All OK.
