Component 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.
Relay Test
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the appropriate K149 Folding Top Pump Motor Relay.
- Test for 85 - 105 Ω between terminals 85 and 86.
- If less than 85 Ω or greater than 105 Ω
Replace the K149 Folding Top Pump Motor Relay.
- Go to next step: If between 85 - 105 Ω
- If less than 85 Ω or greater than 105 Ω
- Test for infinite resistance between the terminals listed below:
- 30 and 86
- 30 and 87
- 30 and 85
- 85 and 87
- If less than infinite resistance
Replace the K149 Folding Top Pump Motor Relay.
- Go to next step: If infinite resistance
- Test for less than 2 Ω between terminals 30 and 87A.
- If 2 Ω or greater
Replace the K149 Folding Top Pump Motor Relay.
- Go to next step: If less than 2 Ω
- If 2 Ω or greater
- Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between relay terminal 85 and 12 V. Install a jumper wire between relay terminal 86 and ground.
- Test for less than 2 Ω between terminals 30 and 87.
- If 2 Ω or greater
Replace the K149 Folding Top Pump Motor Relay.
- Go to next step: If less than 2 Ω
- If 2 Ω or greater
- All OK
Motor Static Test
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the M23 Folding Top Pump Motor.
- Test for 78 - 117 Ω between the control circuit terminal 1 and the signal circuit terminal 2.
- If not between 78 - 117 Ω
Replace the M23 Folding Top Pump Motor.
- Go to next step: If between 78 - 117 Ω
- If not between 78 - 117 Ω
- Test for infinite resistance between each terminal and the sensor housing/case.
- If less than infinite resistance
Replace the M23 Folding Top Pump Motor.
- Go to next step: If infinite resistance
- If less than infinite resistance
- All OK
Motor Dynamic Test
- Install a 10 A fused jumper wire between the control terminal 2 and 12 V.
- Momentarily install a jumper wire between the control terminal 1 and ground. The M23 Folding Top Pump Motor should operate.
- If the pump motor does not work
Replace the M23 Folding Top Pump Motor.
- Go to next step: If the pump motor works
- If the pump motor does not work
- All OK
