Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2011 GMC Yukon XL, 2011 GMC Yukon, 2011 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2011 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2011 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Use the schematic to identify the following:
- Control modules the vehicle is equipped with
- The control modules ground, B+, and Ignition circuit terminal IDs and connectors
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connectors at the appropriate control module.
- Ignition OFF, scan tool disconnected, open and close the driver door and wait 1 minute. Test for less than 10 Ω between each ground circuit terminal and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- If equipped, verify that a test lamp illuminates between each B+ circuit terminal and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
- If equipped, ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between each ignition circuit terminal and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ignition circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the control module module.
NOTE:
Some control module ground circuits may require up to 20 minutes to achieve a resistance reading of less than 10 Ω. In most cases the readings will drop below 20 Ω within 1 minute indicating the control modules are going to sleep.
