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.
- Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems » Off
- Disconnect the electrical connector:X3X53A Fuse Block - Rear Body
- Test for less than 10 Ω between the test points:Ground circuit terminal 12X3 &Ground
- If 10 Ω or greater
- Ground Connection»Disconnect
- Test for less than 2 Ω between the test points:Ground circuit terminal 12X3&Ground Connection
- If 2 Ω or greater » Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 Ω » Repair the open/high resistance in the ground connection.
- If less than 10 Ω
- Connect the electrical connector:X3X53A Fuse Block - Rear Body
- Disconnect the electrical connector:X5K9 Body Control Module
- Ignition » On / Vehicle » In Service Mode
- Momentarily connect a 3 A fused jumper wire between the test points:Control circuit terminal 11X5&B+
Verify the component turns On and Off when connecting and disconnecting the jumper wire:M40 Rear Compartment Lid Latch
- If the component does not turn On and Off
- Ignition/Vehicle » Off & Remove » Jumper wire(s)
- Disconnect the electrical connector:X3X53A Fuse Block - Rear Body
- Ignition » On / Vehicle » In Service Mode
- Test for less than 1 V between the test points:Control circuit terminal 11X5 @Control module harness&Ground
- If 1 V or greater » Repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
- If less than 1 V
- Ignition/Vehicle » Off
- Test for infinite resistance between the test points:Control circuit terminal 11X5@Control module harness&Ground
- If less than infinite resistance » Repair the short to ground on the circuit.
- If infinite resistance
- Test for less than 2 Ω between the test points:Control circuit terminal 11X5@Control module harness&Terminal 21X3@Fuse Block Harness
- If 2 Ω or greater » Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 Ω» Test or replace the component:X53A Fuse Block - Rear Body
- If the component turns On and Off
- Replace the component:K9 Body Control Module
NOTE:
It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down before an accurate ground or low reference circuit continuity test can be performed.
