Circuit/System 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.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the driver information center (DIC) switch connector.
- Test for less than 1 ohm of resistance between the DIC switch ground circuit and ground.
- If greater than 1 ohm, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Ignition ON, verify the scan tool Trip Reset Switch parameter is Inactive.
- If not inactive, test the signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the IPC.
- Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit and ground. Verify the scan tool Trip Reset Switch parameter is Active.
- If not active, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the IPC.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the DIC switch.
