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 M89 Folding Top Stowage Compartment Lid Latch Motor. 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 terminal 5 and ground.
    • If 10 Ω or greater 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K23 Folding Top 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 K23 Folding Top Control Module.
    • Go to next step: If less than 10 Ω 
  3. Ignition ON.
  4. Test for 4.5 - 5.8 V between the signal circuits listed below and ground:
    • M89 Folding Top Stowage Compartment Lid Latch Motor - Signal circuit terminal 6
    • M89 Folding Top Stowage Compartment Lid Latch Motor - Signal circuit terminal 4
    • If less than 4.5 V 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K23 Folding Top Control Module.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal 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 signal circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, replace the K23 Folding Top Control Module.
    • If greater than 5.8 V 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X4 and X2 harness connectors at the K23 Folding Top Control Module control module, ignition ON.
    2. Test for less than 1 V between signal circuit and ground:
      • If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • If less than 1 V, replace the K23 Folding Top Control Module.
    • Go to next step: If between 4.5 - 5.8 V 
  5. Test or replace the M89 Folding Top Stowage Compartment Lid Latch Motor.
