Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2019 Chevrolet Malibu. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:

Do NOT perform this procedure unless directed here from the following diagnostic/test:

    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. Test for less than 10 ohms between the test points: Low Reference circuit terminal 2/B & Ground
    • If 10 ohms or greater 
    1. Disconnect the electrical connector:K20 Engine Control Module
    2. Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points: Low Reference circuit terminal 2/B @ 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 - Replace the component:K20 Engine Control Module
    • Go to next step: If less than 10 ohms 
  5. Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode
  6. Verify a test lamp turns On between the test points:Ignition circuit terminal 4/D & Ground
    • If the test lamp does not turn On 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle - Off & Remove - Test lamp
    2. Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points: Ignition circuit terminal 4/D @ Component harness & Output terminal @ Fuse
      • If 2 ohms or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 ohms - Verify the fuse is OK and there is voltage at the fuse.
    • Go to next step: If the test lamp turns On 
  7. Test or replace the component:T8 Ignition Coil
