Diagnostic Test

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. VERIFY THE DTC IS ACTIVE 
    NOTE:

    Diagnose and repair any system voltage DTCs before continuing with this test.

    1. Start the engine and allow it to reach normal operating temperature.
      WARNING:

      When the engine is operating, do not stand in direct line with the fan. Do not put your hands near the pulleys, belts or fan. Do not wear loose clothing. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.

    2. With the scan tool, read DTCs.

      Is the DTC Active at this time?

      Yes 

      • Go To  2

      No 

      • Test complete. The condition or conditions that originally set this DTC are not present at this time. Using the wiring diagrams as a guide, check all related splices and connectors for signs of water intrusion, corrosion, pushed out or bent terminals and correct pin tension.
      • Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
  2. CHECK THE AMBIENT AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR 
    NOTE:

    The Ambient Air Temperature (AAT) sensor is integral to the Passenger Outside Rearview Mirror.

    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the Passenger Outside Rearview Mirror harness connector.
    3. Turn the ignition on.
    4. With the scan tool, read the DTCs.

      Does the scan tool display DTC: P0070-13-AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR - CIRCUIT OPEN?

      Yes 

      • Verify there is good pin to terminal contact in the Passenger Outside Rearview Mirror and BCM harness connectors. Replace the Passenger Outside Rearview Mirror if no problems were found with the connectors in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to MIRROR, OUTSIDE REARVIEW, REMOVAL .
      • Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .

      No 

      • Go To  3
  3. CHECK THE (G31) AAT SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the BCM C1 harness connector.
    3. Measure the resistance between ground and the (G31) AAT Sensor Signal circuit in the Passenger Outside Rearview Mirror harness connector.

      Is the resistance above 10k Ohms?

      Yes 

      • Go To  4

      No 

      • Repair the short to ground in the (G31) AAT Sensor Signal circuit.
      • Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
  4. CHECK THE (G31) AAT SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO THE (G931) SENSOR RETURN CIRCUIT 
    1. Measure the resistance between the (G31) AAT Sensor Signal circuit and the (G931) Sensor Return circuit in the Passenger Outside Rearview Mirror harness connector.

      Is the resistance above 10k Ohms?

      Yes 

      • Go To  5

      No 

      • Repair the short between the (G31) AAT Sensor Signal circuit and the (G931) Sensor Return circuit.
      • Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
  5. BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) 
    1. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors between the Passenger Outside Rearview Mirror and the BCM.
    2. Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires.
    3. Look for broken, bent, pushed out or corroded terminals.
    4. Verify that there is good pin to terminal contact in the Passenger Outside Rearview Mirror and BCM connectors.
    5. Monitor the scan tool data relative to this circuit and wiggle test the wiring and connectors.
    6. Look for the data to change or for the DTC to reset during the wiggle test.
    7. Perform any Technical Service Bulletins (TSB)s that may apply.

      Were any problems found?

      Yes 

      No
