Component Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Cadillac DTS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Relay Test
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the TRUNK RELSE relay.
- Test for 60-180 ohms of resistance between terminals 85 and 86.
- If the resistance is not within the specified range, replace the relay.
- Test for infinite resistance between the following terminals:
- 30 and 86
- 30 and 87
- 30 and 85
- 85 and 87
- If not the specified value, replace the relay.
- Install a 25A fused jumper wire between relay terminal 85 and 12 volts. Install a jumper wire between relay terminal 86 and ground. Test for less than 2 ohms of resistance between terminals 30 and 87.
- If greater than the specified range, replace the relay.
Rear Compartment Lid Latch
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the Rear Compartment Lid Latch.
- Install a 10-amp fused jumper wire between the control circuit terminal 4 and 12 volts. Install a jumper wire between the ground circuit terminal 3 and ground. Verify the rear compartment lid latch activates.
- If the latch does not perform as specified, replace the Rear Compartment Lid Latch.
Headlamp Switch
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the headlamp switch.
- Test for infinite resistance between the signal terminal 10 and the ground circuit terminal 8 with the switch in the open position.
- If not the specified value, replace the headlamp switch
- Test for less than 2.0 ohms between the signal terminal 10 and the ground circuit terminal 8 with the switch in the closed position.
- If greater than the specified range, replace the headlamp switch.
Valet Switch
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the valet switch.
- Test for infinite resistance between the signal terminal 10 and the ground circuit terminal 8 with the switch in the open position.
- If not the specified value, replace the valet switch.
- Test for less than 2.0 ohms between the signal terminal 10 and the ground circuit terminal 8 with the switch in the closed position.
- If greater than the specified range, replace the valet switch
