Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2008 GMC Yukon XL, 2008 GMC Yukon, 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2008 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2008 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Park Lamp Switch Malfunction

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the headlamp switch.
  2. Ignition OFF, test for less than 5.0 ohms between the ground circuit terminal 8 and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  3. Ignition ON, verify the scan tool Parklamp Switch parameter is Inactive.
    • If not the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal 2 for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
  4. Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 2 and ground. Verify the scan tool BCM parklamp switch parameter is Active.
    • If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
  5. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the Headlamp and Panel Dimmer Switch.

Park Lamps Malfunction

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the PARK LAMP Relay.
  2. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 87 and ground. The test lamp should not illuminate.
    • If the test lamp illuminates, test the control circuit for a short to voltage.
  3. Connect a test lamp between the relay B+ terminals 30 and ground. The test lamp should illuminate.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for short to ground.
  4. Connect a test lamp between the relay B+ terminal 86 and ground. The test lamp should illuminate.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for short to ground.
  5. Connect a 15A fused jumper wire between the relay B+ circuit terminal 30 and the park lamp control circuit terminal 87. The Park/Tail lamps should illuminate.
    • If the Park/Tail lamps do not illuminate, and the appropriate PARK lamp fuse tests normal, test the park lamp control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
  6. Connect a test lamp between the relay control circuit terminal 85 and B+ circuit terminal 86. Command the parking lamps ON and OFF with a scan tool. The test should turn ON and OFF.
    • If the test lamp is always OFF, test the relay control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
    • If the test lamp is always ON, test the relay control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
  7. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate park, marker, license, or tail lamp.
  8. Verify that a test lamp illuminates when connected between battery voltage and the listed ground circuit terminal below.

    • Tail/Turn Signal Lamp - Left or Right terminal G - w/o X88 + E52
    • Tail/Turn Signal Lamp - Left or Right terminal GND - with X88 + E52
    • Tail/Stop Lamp - Left or Right Rear terminal G - w/o X88 + E52
    • Tail/Stop Lamp - Left or Right Rear terminal GND - w/o X88 + E52
    • Marker Lamp - Left or Right Rear terminal B - with Z88
    • Marker Lamp - Left or Right Rear terminal A - with Z75 or X88 - E52
    • Tail Lamp Circuit Board - Left or Right Rear terminal D - with Z75 + E52
    • License lamp terminal B
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  9. Ignition ON, connect a test lamp between the listed control circuit terminal and ground.
    • Park/Turn Signal Lamp - Left of Right front terminal B - with X88
    • Park/Turn Signal Lamp - Left of Right front terminal B - with Z88
    • Marker Lamp - Left or Right front terminal D - with Z75
    • Marker Lamp - Left or Right front terminal A - with Z88 or X88
    • Park Lamp - Left or Right front terminal A - Z75
    • Tail/Stop and Turn Signal Lamp - Lower Left or Right rear terminal B - w/o X88 - E52
    • Tail/Stop and Turn Signal Lamp - Lower Left or Right rear terminal MNR - with X88 - E52
    • Tail/Turn Signal Lamp - Left or Right Rear terminal B - w/o X88 + E52
    • Tail/Turn Signal Lamp - Left or Right Rear terminal MNR - with X88 + E52
    • Tail/Stop Lamp - Left or Right Rear terminal B - w/o X88 + E52
    • Tail/Stop Lamp - Left or Right Rear terminal MNR - with X88 + E52
    • Marker Lamp - Left or Right Rear terminal B - with Z88
    • Marker Lamp - Left or Right Rear terminal A - with Z75 or X88 - E52
    • Tail Lamp Circuit Board - Left or Right Rear terminal A - with Z75 + E52
    • License lamp terminal A
  10. Command the parking lamps ON and OFF with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
    • If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the underhood fuse block.
    • If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, and the appropriate park lamp fuse tests normal, replace the underhood fuse block.
  11. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the appropriate lamp.
