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:X2X53A Fuse Block - Rear Body
- Test for less than 10 Ω between the test points:Ground circuit terminal 27&Ground
- If 10 Ω or greater
- Ground Connection»Disconnect
- Test for less than 2 Ω between the test points:Ground circuit terminal 27 &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:X2X53A Fuse Block - Rear Body
- Disconnect the electrical connector:X7K9 Body Control Module
- Ignition » On / Vehicle » In Service Mode
- Momentarily connect a 3 A fused jumper wire between the test points:Control circuit terminal 10 &B+
Verify the component produces a clicking sound:A23D Door Latch Assembly - Driver
- If the component does not produce a sound
- Ignition/Vehicle » Off & Remove » Jumper wire(s)
- Disconnect the electrical connector:X2X53A Fuse Block - Rear Body
- Ignition » On / Vehicle » In Service Mode
- Test for less than 1V between the test points:Control circuit terminal 10@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 10 @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 10@Control module harness&Terminal 32X2@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.
