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 connectors at the appropriate control modules listed below.
- ECM X1
- TCM
- Connect a test lamp between the appropriate signal circuit terminal listed below and ground.
- ECM terminal 7
- TCM terminal 42
- Ignition ON, verify the test lamp turns ON and OFF while pressing and releasing the brake pedal.
- If the test lamp is always ON, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- If the test lamp is always OFF, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- Ignition OFF, connect the harness connector at the TCM.
- Connect a test lamp between the signal circuit terminal 7 and ground.
- Ignition ON, verify the test lamp turns ON and OFF while pressing and releasing the brake pedal.
- If the test lamp is always OFF, test the signal circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit test normal, replace the TCM.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the ECM.
