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 OFF and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the S2 manual shift switch. It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down. Refer to Transmission Control Lever Knob Replacement .
  2. Test for less than 10 Ω between the vehicle harness connector terminal 2 and ground.
    • If 10 Ω or greater 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the vehicle harness at the ground connection.
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the ground circuit end to end.
      • If greater than 2 Ω, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, repair the ground connection.
    • Go to next step: If less than 10 Ω 
  3. Ignition ON.
  4. Test for 11 - 13 V at the vehicle harness connector between signal circuit terminal 3 and ground.
    • If not between 11 - 13 V 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the connector at the BCM.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground in the circuit.
      • Go to next step: If infinite resistance.
    3. Test for less than 2 Ω in the signal circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, replace the BCM.
    • Go to next step: If between 11 - 13 V 
  5. Ignition OFF, connect the harness connector at the S2 manual shift switch.
  6. Ignition ON, S3 Transmission Shift Lever in the M or manual mode position.
  7. Test for voltage between the S2 manual shift switch connector signal circuit terminal 3 and ground, by back probing the connector, for the conditions listed below.
    • 2.0 - 4.6 V - Plus button pressed
    • 5.1 - 7.3 V - Minus button pressed
    • 8.0 - 10.6 V - Neither button pressed
    • If voltage values are not correct 

      Replace the S2 manual shift switch.

    • Go to next step: If voltage values are correct 
  8. Replace the K9 Body Control Module.
