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.
  1. Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems - Off
  2. Disconnect the electrical connector:S78 Turn Signal/Multifunction Switch
  3. 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.

  4. Test for less than 15 ohms between the test points:Ground circuit terminal 3 & Ground
    • If 15 ohms or greater 
    1. Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points:Ground circuit terminal 3 & Ground terminal
      • 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 15 ohms 
  5. Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode
  6. Verify the scan tool parameter:High Beam Select Switch = Inactive
    • If not the specified state 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle - Off
    2. Disconnect the electrical connector:X3 @ K9 Body Control Module
    3. Test for infinite resistance between the test points:Signal circuit terminal 7 @ Component harness & Ground
      • If less than infinite resistance - Repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance - Replace the component:K9 Body Control Module
    • Go to next step: If the specified state 
  7. Connect a 3 A fused jumper wire between the test points:Signal circuit terminal 7 @ Component harness & Ground
  8. Verify the scan tool parameter:High Beam Select Switch = Active
    • If not the specified state 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle - Off & Remove - Jumper wire(s)
    2. Disconnect the electrical connector:X3 @ K9 Body Control Module
    3. Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode
    4. Test for less than 1 V between the test points:Signal circuit terminal 7 @ Component harness & Ground
      • If 1 V or greater - Repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • Go to next step: If less than 1 V
    5. Ignition/Vehicle - Off
    6. Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points:Signal circuit terminal 7 @ Component harness & Signal circuit terminal 11 @ Control module harness
      • If 2 ohms or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 ohms - Replace the component:K9 Body Control Module
    • Go to next step: If the specified state 
  9. Test or replace the component:S78 Turn Signal/Multifunction Switch
