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 OFF and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B10B Ambient Light/Sunload Sensor. It may take up to 10 min for all vehicle systems to power down.
    2. NOTE:

    The scan tool must be disconnected from the vehicle before performing the next test.

  2. Test for less than 10 Ω between the low reference circuit terminal 6 and ground.
    • If 10 Ω or greater 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connectors at the K33 HVAC Control Module.
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the low 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 K33 HVAC Control Module.
    • If less than 10 Ω 
  3. Ignition ON.
  4. Test for 4.8-5.2 V between the signal circuit terminal 4 and ground.
    • If less than 4.8 V 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connectors at the K33 HVAC Control Module.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal 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 signal circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, replace the K33 HVAC Control Module.
    • If greater than 5.2 V 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connectors at the K33 HVAC Control Module, ignition ON.
    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, replace the K33 HVAC Control Module.
    • If between 4.8-5.2 V 
  5. Test or replace the B10B Ambient Light/Sunload Sensor.
  6. Verify DTC B0183 does not set or the symptom does not occur while operating the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC.
    • If the DTC or symptom is not corrected. 

      Replace the K33 HVAC Control Module.

    • If the DTC or symptom is corrected. 
  7. All OK.
