Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 GMC Acadia. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ignition/Vehicle Off
  2. Disconnect the electrical connector: M30 Liftgate Latch
  3. Ignition On/Vehicle In Service Mode
  4. Verify the scan tool parameter: Rear Closure Ajar Switch = Inactive
    • If not the specified state 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle Off
    2. Disconnect the electrical connector: K9 Body Control Module
    3. Test for infinite resistance between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 2 @ Component harness & Ground
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance, replace the component: K9 Body Control Module
    • If the specified state 
  5. Connect a 3 A fused jumper wire between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 2 & Ground circuit terminal 1
  6. Verify the scan tool parameter: Rear Closure Ajar Switch = Active
    • If not the specified state 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle Off & Remove Jumper wire(s)
    2. Disconnect the electrical connector: K9 Body Control Module
    3. Ignition On/Vehicle In Service Mode
    4. Test for less than 1 V between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 2 @ 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: Signal circuit terminal 2 @ Component harness & Terminal 5 X6 @ Control module harness
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, replace the component: K9 Body Control Module
    • If the specified state 
  7. Test or replace the component: M30 Liftgate Latch
