Circuit/System Testing

  1. Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the S30 Headlamp Switch, ignition ON.
  2. Test for B+ between the B+ circuit terminal 1 and ground.
    • If less than B+ 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X3 harness connector at the K9 Body Control Module.
    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
    3. 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, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
    • If B+ 
  3. Verify a test lamp does not illuminate between the B+ circuit terminal 1 and the signal circuit terminal 12.
    • If the test lamp illuminates 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the K9 Body Control Module.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate 
  4. Test for B+ between the B+ circuit terminal 1 and the signal circuit terminal 12.
    • If less than B+ 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the K9 Body Control Module, ignition ON.
    2. Test for less than 1 V between the signal circuit terminal 12 and ground.
      • If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • If less than 1 V
    3. Test for less than 2 Ω in the signal circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
    • If B+ 
  5. Test or replace the S30 Headlamp Switch.
