Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Cadillac DTS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the tilt/telescope switch.
- Ignition ON, verify a test lamp illuminates between terminal 4 and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
- Verify with the scan tool that the appropriate switch parameter is Inactive.
- If not the specified value, test the appropriate signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the MSM.
- Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the appropriate circuit terminal 1, 2, 3, or 5 and terminal 4. Verify with the scan tool that the appropriate switch parameter is Active.
- If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the MSM.
- If all circuit test normal, test or replace the tilt/telescope switch.
