Circuit/System Verification
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 park switch.
- Ignition OFF, test for less than 5 ohms of resistance between the ground circuit and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the ignition lock cylinder control actuator.
- Ignition ON, verify a test lamp illuminates between the control circuit terminal B and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 1 and the control circuit terminal 2.
- Ignition ON, cycle the gear shift from PARK to DRIVE. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when cycled between gears.
- If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If circuit tests normal, replace the park switch.
- If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If circuit tests normal, replace the park switch.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the ignition lock cylinder control actuator.
