Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 GMC Yukon XL, 2018 GMC Yukon, 2018 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2018 Cadillac Escalade ESV, and 2018 Cadillac Escalade. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems - Off
    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: X1 @ T12 Automatic Transmission Assembly
  3. Test for less than 10 Ω between the test points:Low Reference circuit terminal 26 & Ground
    • If 10 Ω or greater 
    1. Disconnect the electrical connector:K71 Transmission Control Module
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω between the test points: Low Reference circuit terminal 26 @ X1 & The other end of the circuit @ Control module harness
      • If 2 Ω or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω - Test or replace the component: K71 Transmission Control Module
    • Go to next step: If less than 10 Ω 
  4. Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode
  5. Verify the scan tool parameter: Transmission Fluid Temperature = Colder than -39°C (-38°F)
    • If -39°C (-38°F) or warmer 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle - Off
    2. Disconnect the electrical connector: K71 Transmission Control Module
    3. Test for infinite resistance between the test points:Signal circuit terminal 13 & Ground
      • If less than infinite resistance - Repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance - Replace the component: K71 Transmission Control Module
    • Go to next step: If colder than -39°C (-38°F) 
  6. Connect a 3 A fused jumper wire between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 13 & Low Reference circuit terminal 26
  7. Verify the scan tool parameter:Transmission Fluid Temperature = Warmer than 149°C (300°F)
    • If colder than 149°C (300°F) 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle - Off & Remove - Jumper wire(s)
    2. Disconnect the electrical connector: K71 Transmission Control Module
    3. Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode
    4. Test for less than 1 V between the test points:Signal circuit terminal 13 & 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 13 @ X1 & The other end of the circuit @ Control module harness
      • If 2 Ω or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω - Replace the component: K71 Transmission Control Module
    • Go to next step: If warmer than 149°C (300°F) 
  8. Ignition/Vehicle - Off
  9. Connect the electrical connector: K71 Transmission Control Module
  10. Connect the electrical connector: X1 @ T12 Automatic Transmission Assembly
  11. Remove the component:Automatic Transmission Fluid Pan
  12. Disconnect the electrical connector: X176
  13. Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode
  14. Test for 4.8 to 5.2 V between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 2 & Low Reference terminal 1 @ X176
    • If not between 4.8 and 5.2 V 

      Replace the appropriate component: Automatic Transmission Wiring Harness

    • Go to next step: If between 4.8 and 5.2 V 
  15. Ignition/Vehicle - Off
  16. Remove the component: Control Valve Assembly
  17. Connect the electrical connector: X176
  18. Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode
  19. Test for 4.8 to 5.2 V between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 2 & Low Reference terminal 1 @ B13 Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor
    • If not between 4.8 and 5.2 V 

      Replace the appropriate component: Automatic Transmission Wiring Harness

    • Go to next step: If between 4.8 and 5.2 V 
  20. Test or replace the component: B13 Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor
