Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Buick Regal. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the P17 Info Display Module.
  2. Test for less than 10 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 2 and ground.
    • If 10 Ω or greater. 
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. 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 10 Ω. 
  3. Test for less than 20 Ω between the data shield circuit terminal 6 and ground.
    • If 20 Ω or greater. 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 connector at the A11 Radio.
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the data shield circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, replace the A11 Radio.
    • If less than 20 Ω. 
  4. Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 1 and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is good. 
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. 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, refer to Power Mode Mismatch .
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is open. 
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the B+ circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance, replace the P17 Info Display Module.
    • If the test lamp illuminates. 
  5. Ignition ON.
  6. Test for 2-3 V between the data circuit terminals listed below and ground.
    • terminal 7
    • terminal 8
    • If less than 2 V 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the A11 Radio.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the data circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance
    3. Test for less than 2 Ω in the data circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, replace the A11 Radio.
    • If greater than 3 V 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the A11 Radio. Ignition ON.
    2. Test for less than 1 V between the signal circuit and ground.
      • If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • If less than 1 V, replace the A11 Radio.
    • If 2-3 V 
  7. Test for less than 1 V between the control circuit terminals listed below and ground.
    • terminal 4
    • terminal 5
    • If greater than 1 V 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the A11 Radio. Ignition ON.
    2. Test for less than 1 V between the control circuit and ground.
      • If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • If less than 1 V, replace the A11 Radio.
    • If less than 1 V 
  8. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the A11 Radio.
  9. Test for infinite resistance between the control circuit terminals listed below and ground.
    • P17 Info Display Module terminal 4
    • P17 Info Display Module terminal 5
    • If less than infinite resistance, 

      Repair the short to ground on the circuit.

    • If infinite resistance 
  10. Test for less than 2 Ω between the control circuits listed below.
    • P17 Info Display Module terminal 4 and the A11 Radio terminal 13 X1
    • P17 Info Display Module terminal 5 and the A11 Radio terminal 27 X1
    • If 2 Ω or greater 

      Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.

    • If less than 2 Ω. 
  11. Replace the P17 information display module. Connect all harness connectors.
  12. Ignition ON, radio ON.
  13. Verify the P17 Info Display Module turns on and information is shown on the display.
    • If the information display still malfunctions. 

      Replace the A11 Radio.

    • If the info display module turns on and information is shown on the display. 
  14. All OK
