Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2012 GMC Yukon XL, 2012 GMC Yukon, 2012 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2012 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2012 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
When removing connectors inspect for damage or corrosion. Damage or corrosion in the following requires repair or replacement of the affected.
- Passenger instrument panel air bag on/off indicator.
- Passenger instrument panel air bag on/off indicator wiring harness.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the passenger air bag ON/OFF indicator.
- Ignition ON, verify a test lamp illuminates between the ignition circuit terminal 4 and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ignition circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal and the ignition circuit fuse is open, test or replace the passenger air bag ON/OFF indicator.
- Connect a test lamp between the ignition circuit terminal 4 and the control circuit terminal 3.
- With the passenger seat unoccupied, then occupied the test lamp should switch states within 5 seconds.
- If the test lamp is always on, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal replace the IPC.
- If the test lamp is always off, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal replace the IPC.
- Connect a test lamp between the ignition circuit terminal 4 and the control circuit terminal 1.
- With the passenger seat unoccupied, then occupied the test lamp should switch states within 5 seconds.
- If the test lamp is always on, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal replace the IPC.
- If the test lamp is always off, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal replace the IPC.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the passenger air bag ON/OFF indicator.
