Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Cadillac ATS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:

You must perform the Circuit/System Verification before proceeding with Circuit/System Testing.

  1. Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF, It may take up to 2 minutes for all vehicle systems to power down.
  2. Disconnect the X1 harness connector at the S86 Fuel Economy Mode switch.
  3. Test for 266-294 Ω between terminal 3 of the switch and terminal 1 of the switch.
    • If not within the specified range, 

      Replace the S86 fuel economy mode switch.

    • If within the specified range 
  4. Test for 1, 414-1, 562 Ω between terminal 3 of the switch and terminal 2 of the switch.
    • If not within the specified range 

      Replace the S86 fuel economy mode switch.

    • If within the specified range 
  5. With the S86 fuel economy mode switch button depressed, test for 486-538 Ω between terminal 3 of the switch and terminal 2 of the switch.
    • If not within the specified range 

      Replace the S86 fuel economy mode switch.

    • If within the specified range 
  6. Test for less than 5 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 2 of the harness connector and ground.
    • If 5 Ω or greater 

      Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.

    • If less than 5 Ω 
  7. Ignition ON.
  8. Test for 4.8-5.2 V between the 5 V reference circuit terminal 3 of the harness connector and ground.
    • If less than 4.8 V 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X-2 harness connector at the K20 engine control module.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the 5 V reference circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance
    3. Test for less than 2 Ω in the 5 V reference circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, replace the K20 engine control module.
    • If greater than 5.2 V 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X-2 harness connector at the K20 engine control module.
    2. Test for less than 1 V between the 5 V reference circuit and ground.
      • If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • If less than 1 V, replace the K20 engine control module.
    • If within 4.8-5.2 V 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X-2 harness connector at the K20 engine control module.
    2. Test for less than 1 V between the signal circuit and ground.
      • If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • If less than 1 V
    3. Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground in the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance
    4. Test for less than 2 Ω in the signal circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω
  9. Replace the K20 engine control module.
