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.
  1. Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems Off
  2. Disconnect the electrical connector: M47 Reverse Inhibit Solenoid Actuator
  3. Ignition On/Vehicle In Service Mode
  4. Verify a test lamp turns On between the test points: B+ circuit terminal 2/B & Ground
    • If the test lamp does not turn On and the circuit fuse is OK 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle Off & Remove Test lamp
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω between the test points: B+ circuit terminal 2/B & Output terminal @ F28UA Fuse
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, verify the fuse is OK and there is voltage at the fuse.
    • If the test lamp does not turn On and the circuit fuse is open 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle Off & Remove Test lamp
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the test points: B+ circuit terminal 2/B & Ground
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance, replace the component: M47 Reverse Inhibit Solenoid Actuator
    • If the test lamp turns On 
  5. Connect a test lamp between the test points: Control circuit terminal 1/A & B+
  6. Perform the scan tool control function: Reverse Inhibit Solenoid Actuator On and Off

    Verify the test lamp turns On and Off.

    • If the test lamp is always Off 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle Off & Remove Test lamp
    2. Disconnect the electrical connector: K20 Engine Control Module
    3. Ignition On/Vehicle In Service Mode
    4. Test for less than 1 V between the test points: Control circuit terminal 1/A @ Component harness & Ground
      • If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • If less than 1 V
    5. Ignition/Vehicle Off
    6. Test for less than 2 Ω between the test points: Control circuit terminal 1/A @ Component harness & the other end of the circuit
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, replace the component: K20 Engine Control Module
    • If the test lamp is always On 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle Off & Remove Test lamp
    2. Disconnect the electrical connector: K20 Engine Control Module
    3. Test for infinite resistance between the test points: Control circuit terminal 1/A @ Component harness & Ground
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance, replace the component: K20 Engine Control Module
    • If the test lamp turns On and Off 
  7. Test or replace the component: M47 Reverse Inhibit Solenoid Actuator
