Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Cadillac CTS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the inoperative exterior door handle switch assembly.
- Ignition OFF, scan tool OFF, test for less than 10.0 ohms of resistance between the ground circuit terminal C and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Ignition OFF, scan tool OFF, test for less than 10.0 ohms of resistance between the ground circuit terminal F and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Ignition ON, verify the scan tool door handle switch parameter displays INACTIVE.
- If not the specified value, test the appropriate signal circuit terminal E for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the appropriate door control module.
- Verify the appropriate scan tool ext. door handle switch parameter located in the RCDLR inputs list displays INACTIVE.
- If not the specified value, test the appropriate signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the RCDLR.
- Install a 3-A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal E and ground. Verify the scan tool door handle switch parameter displays ACTIVE.
- If not the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal E for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the appropriate door control module.
- Verify the appropriate scan tool ext. door handle switch parameter located in the RCDLR inputs list displays ACTIVE.
- If not the specified value, test the appropriate signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the RCDLR.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the appropriate exterior door handle switch assembly.
