Circuit/System Testing
NOTE:
It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down before an accurate ground or low reference circuit continuity test can be performed.
- Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems - Off
- Disconnect the electrical connector: S86 Vehicle Stability Control Switch
- Test for less than 10 ohms between the test points: Ground circuit terminal 3 & Ground
- If 10 ohms or greater
- Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points: Ground circuit terminal 3 @ Component harness & Ground terminal
- If 2 ohms or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 ohms - Repair the open/high resistance in the ground connection.
- Go to next step: If less than 10 ohms
- Ignition - On/Vehicle - In Service Mode
- Headlamp Switch=On
- Verify a test lamp turns On between the test points: Control circuit terminal 8 & Ground
- If the test lamp does not turn On
Refer to: Interior Backlighting Malfunction
- Go to next step: If the test lamp turns On
- If the test lamp does not turn On
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off & Remove - Test lamp
- Connect the electrical connector: S86 Vehicle Stability Control Switch
- Disconnect the electrical connector: X3 @ K9 Body Control Module
- Test for infinite resistance between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 23 X3 & Ground
- If less than infinite resistance
- Disconnect the electrical connector: S86 Vehicle Stability Control Switch
- Test for infinite resistance between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 23 X3 & Ground
- If less than infinite resistance - Repair the short to ground on the circuit.
- If infinite resistance - Replace the component: S86 Vehicle Stability Control Switch
- Go to next step: If infinite resistance
- Press and hold the switch: Sport Mode @ S86 Vehicle Stability Control Switch
Test for less than 10 ohms between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 23 X3 & Ground
- If 10 ohms or greater
- Disconnect the electrical connector: S86 Vehicle Stability Control Switch
- Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 23 X3 @ Control module harness & Signal circuit terminal 10 @ Component harness
- If 2 ohms or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 ohms - Replace the component: S86 Vehicle Stability Control Switch
- Go to next step: If less than 10 ohms
- Connect the electrical connector: X3 @ K9 Body Control Module
- Disconnect the electrical connector: X5 @ K9 Body Control Module
- Ignition - On/Vehicle - In Service Mode
- Headlamp Switch = On
- Verify the component works as specified: Sport Mode - LED (Light Emitting Diode) @ S86 Vehicle Stability Control Switch = Off
- If the component does not work as specified
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- Disconnect the electrical connector: S86 Vehicle Stability Control Switch
- Test for infinite resistance between the test points: Control circuit terminal 23 X5 @ Control module harness & Ground
- If less than infinite resistance - Repair the short to ground on the circuit.
- If infinite resistance - Replace the component: S86 Vehicle Stability Control Switch
- Go to next step: If the component works as specified
- Connect a 3 A fused jumper wire between the test points: Control circuit terminal 23 X5 & Ground
Verify the component works as specified: Sport Mode - LED (Light Emitting Diode) @ S86 Vehicle Stability Control Switch = On
- If the component does not work as specified
- Disconnect the electrical connector: S86 Vehicle Stability Control Switch
- Test for less than 1 V between the test points: Control circuit terminal 23 X5 @ Control module harness & Ground
- If 1 V or greater - Repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
- Go to next step: If less than 1 V
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points: Control circuit terminal 23 X5 @ Control module harness & Control circuit terminal 6 @ Component harness
- If 2 ohms or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 ohms - Replace the component: S86 Vehicle Stability Control Switch
- Go to next step: If the component works as specified
- Replace the component: K9 Body Control Module
