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 OFF, exterior lamps OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate E13 Headlamp Assembly. It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down.
- Test for less than 10 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 7 and ground.
- If 10 Ω or greater
- Ignition OFF.
- Test for less than 2 Ω in the ground circuit end to end.
- 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
- Ignition ON.
- Verify a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminals 8 and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X5 harness connector at the X50A Fuse Block - Underhood.
- Test for infinite resistance between the B+ circuit and ground.
- If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
- If infinite resistance
- Test for less than 2 Ω in the control circuit end to end.
- If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 Ω, replace the X50A Fuse Block - Underhood.
- If the test lamp illuminates
- Ignition OFF, replace the E13 Headlamp Assembly.
- Ignition ON, low beam headlamps ON, verify the appropriate high beam headlamp turns ON and OFF when commanding the high beam headlamps ON and OFF with the S78 Turn Signal/Multifunction Switch.
- If the high beam headlamp does not illuminate
- Replace the K26 Headlamp Control Module.
- If the high beam headlamp illuminates
- All OK.
