Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Chevrolet Spark. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Disconnect the harness connector at the S3 Transmission Shift Lever.
  2. Test for less than 10 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 4 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 
  3. Ignition ON.
  4. Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 3 and the ground circuit terminal 4.
  5. Verify the ignition can be turned OFF when pressing the S38 Ignition Mode Switch.
    • If the ignition does not turn OFF 
    1. Remove the jumper wire, disconnect the harness connector at the K9 Body Control Module.
    2. Test for less than 1 V between the signal circuit and ground.
      • If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • If less than 1 V
    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 K9 Body Control Module.
    • If the ignition turns OFF 
  6. Remove the jumper wire.
  7. Verify the ignition does not OFF when pressing the S38 Ignition Mode Switch.
    NOTE:

    The ignition should return to ACC/ACCESSORY and a display the message of SHIFT TO PARK in the P9 Driver Information Center Display.

    • If the ignition turns OFF 
    1. Disconnect the harness connector at the K9 Body Control Module.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit terminal 6 and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
    • If the ignition does not turn OFF 
  8. Test or replace the S3 Transmission Shift Lever.
