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:

    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 electrical connector:G36 Auxiliary Heater Coolant Pump
  3. Test for less than 10 ohms between the test points:Ground circuit terminal 1 & Ground
    • If 10 ohms or greater 
    1. Disconnect the ground connection:Ground
    2. Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points:Ground circuit terminal 1 & The other end of the circuit @ Ground Connection
      • 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. Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode
  5. Connect a test lamp between the test points:Control circuit terminal 2 & Ground circuit terminal 1
  6. Perform the scan tool control function:Heater Coolant Pump - On and Off

    Verify the test lamp does not turn On and Off.

    • If the test lamp turns On and Off 

      Test or replace the component:G36 Auxiliary Heater Coolant Pump

    • Go to next step: If the test lamp does not turn On and Off 
  7. Ignition/Vehicle - Off
  8. Connect the electrical connector:G36 Auxiliary Heater Coolant Pump
  9. Disconnect the electrical connector:X50A Fuse Block - Underhood
  10. Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode
  11. Momentarily connect a 10 A fused jumper wire between the test points:Control circuit terminal B3 & B+

    Verify the component turns On and Off when connecting and disconnecting the jumper wire:G36 Auxiliary Heater Coolant Pump

    • If the component does not turn On and Off 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle - Off & Remove - Jumper wire(s)
    2. Disconnect the electrical connector:G36 Auxiliary Heater Coolant Pump
    3. Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode
    4. Test for less than 1 V between the test points:Control circuit terminal 2 @ 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 infinite resistance between the test points:Control circuit terminal 2 @ Component harness & Ground
      • If less than infinite resistance - Repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • Go to next step: If infinite resistance
    7. Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points:Control circuit terminal 2 @ Component harness & Terminal B3 @ Fuse Block Harness
      • If 2 ohms or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 ohms - Test or replace the component:G36 Auxiliary Heater Coolant Pump
    • Go to next step: If the component turns On and Off 
  12. Verify the fuse is not open:
    • If the fuse is open 

      Test or replace the component:X50A Fuse Block - Underhood

    • Go to next step: If the fuse is not open 
  13. Ignition/Vehicle - Off
  14. Connect the electrical connector:X50A Fuse Block - Underhood
  15. Disconnect the electrical connector:K20 Engine Control Module
  16. Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode
  17. Momentarily connect a 3 A fused jumper wire between the test points:Control circuit terminal 66 & Ground

    Verify the component turns On and Off when connecting and disconnecting the jumper wire:G36 Auxiliary Heater Coolant Pump

    • If the component does not turn On and Off 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle - Off & Remove - Jumper wire(s)
    2. Disconnect the electrical connector:X50A Fuse Block - Underhood
    3. Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode
    4. Test for less than 1 V between the test points:Control circuit terminal 66 @ Control module 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 infinite resistance between the test points:Control circuit terminal 66 @ Control module harness & Ground
      • If less than infinite resistance - Repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • Go to next step: If infinite resistance
    7. Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points:Control circuit terminal 66 @ Control module harness & Terminal B3 @ Fuse Block Harness
      • If 2 ohms or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 ohms - Test or replace the component:X50A Fuse Block - Underhood
    • Go to next step: If the component turns On and Off 
  18. Replace the component:K20 Engine Control Module
