Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems - Off
- Disconnect the electrical connector: B172LR Rear Disc Brake Pad Wear Sensor - Left
- Test for less than 10 ohms between the test points: Ground circuit terminal 2 & Ground
- If 10 ohms or greater
- Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points: Ground circuit terminal 2@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
- Ignition - On/Vehicle - In Service Mode
- Verify the scan tool parameter: Rear Brake Pad Wear Sensors = Greater than 10.5 V
- If not the specified state
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- Disconnect the electrical connector: K160 Brake System Control Module
- Test for infinite resistance between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 1@Component harness & Ground
- If less than infinite resistance - Repair the short to ground on the circuit.
- If infinite resistance - Replace the component: K160 Brake System Control Module
- Go to next step: If the specified state
- Connect a 3 A fused jumper wire between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 1 & Ground circuit terminal 2
- Verify the scan tool parameter: Rear Brake Pad Wear Sensors = 0 V
- If not the specified state
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off & Remove - Jumper wire (s)
- Disconnect the electrical connector: K160 Brake System Control Module
- Ignition - On/Vehicle - In Service Mode
- Test for less than 1 V between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 1@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 1@Component harness & Terminal X1 44@Control module harness
- If 2 ohms or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 ohms - Replace the component: K160 Brake System Control Module
- Go to next step: If the specified state
- Test or replace the component: B172LR Rear Disc Brake Pad Wear Sensor - Left
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.
