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.
- Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems - Off
- Disconnect the electrical connector:S78 Turn Signal/Multifunction Switch
- Test for less than 15 ohms between the test points:Ground circuit terminal 3 & Ground
- If 15 ohms or greater
- 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
- Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode
- Verify the scan tool parameter:High Beam Select Switch = Inactive
- If not the specified state
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- Disconnect the electrical connector:X3 @ K9 Body Control Module
- 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
- Connect a 3 A fused jumper wire between the test points:Signal circuit terminal 7 @ Component harness & Ground
- Verify the scan tool parameter:High Beam Select Switch = Active
- If not the specified state
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off & Remove - Jumper wire(s)
- Disconnect the electrical connector:X3 @ K9 Body Control Module
- Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode
- 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
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- 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
- Test or replace the component:S78 Turn Signal/Multifunction Switch
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.
