Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Buick Encore. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
    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.

  1. Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems - Off
  2. Disconnect the appropriate electrical connector:T8 Ignition Coil
  3. Test for less than 10 ohms between the test points: Ground circuit terminal 1/A & Ground
    • If 10 ohms or greater 
    1. Disconnect the ground connection:Ground terminal
    2. Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points: Ground circuit terminal 1/A@Component harness & The other end of the circuit
      • If 2 ohms or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 ohms - Repair the open/high resistance in the ground connection.
    • Go to next step: If less than 10 ohms 
  4. Engine - Running
  5. Verify the appropriate scan tool Ignition Coil Control Circuit Low Voltage Test Status does not display Malfunction.
    • If Malfunction is displayed 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K20 Engine Control Module.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the control circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the control circuit.
      • If infinite resistance, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
    • Go to next step: If Malfunction is not displayed 
  6. Verify the appropriate scan tool Ignition Coil Control Circuit High Voltage Test Status does not display Malfunction.
    • If Malfunction is displayed 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K20 Engine Control Module.
    2. Test for less than 1 V between the control circuit and ground.
      • If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage in the circuit.
      • If less than 1 V, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
    • Go to next step: If Malfunction is not displayed 
  7. Ignition OFF, install a 10 A fused jumper wire between the control circuit terminal 3 or C and ground, engine Running.
  8. Verify the appropriate scan tool Ignition Coil Control Circuit Low Voltage Test Status displays Malfunction.
    • If Malfunction is not displayed 
    1. Ignition OFF, remove the fused jumper, and disconnect the harness connector at the K20 Engine Control Module.
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the control circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
    • Go to next step: If Malfunction is displayed 
  9. Test or replace the T8 Ignition Coil.
