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.
- Ignition OFF, and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the X1 16-way harness connector at transmission.
- Ignition OFF, test for less than 5 Ω between terminal 5 and ground at the transmission case.
- If 5 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 5 Ω
- Verify a test lamp illuminates between terminal 4 and ground at the transmission case.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is good
- Ignition OFF.
- Test for less than 2 Ω in the B+ circuit end to end
- If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 Ω, verify the fuse is not open and there is voltage at the fuse.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is open
- Ignition OFF.
- Test for infinite resistance between the B+ circuit and ground.
- If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
- If the test lamp illuminates
- Ignition OFF.
- Verify a test lamp does not illuminates between terminal 12 and ground at the transmission case.
- If the test lamp illuminates
Test the ignition voltage circuit for a short to B+.
- If the circuit tests normal
Replace the Q8 control solenoid valve assembly.
- If the test lamp illuminates
- Ignition ON.
- Verify a test lamp illuminates between terminal 12 and ground at the transmission case.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is good
- Ignition OFF.
- Test for less than 2 Ω in the voltage circuit end to end.
- If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 Ω, verify the fuse is not open and there is voltage at the fuse.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is open
- Ignition OFF.
- Test for infinite resistance between the voltage circuit and ground.
- If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
- If the test lamp illuminates
Replace the Q8 control solenoid valve assembly.
