Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 GMC Sierra, 2010 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2010 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2010 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: When removing connectors, inspect for damage or corrosion. Damage or corrosion in the following requires repair or replacement of the affected component/connector:
  • Seat position sensor
  • SDM module
  • Seat position sensor wiring harness connector
  • SDM wiring harness connector
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate B88 seat position sensor.
  2. Test for less than 10 Ω between the low reference circuit terminal 1 and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K36 SDM.
  3. Ignition ON, test for 4-9 V between the signal circuit terminal 2 and ground.
    • If less than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K36 SDM.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K36 SDM.
  4. If all circuits test normal, replace the B88 seat position sensor.
