Testing the Device Circuits

Ignition/Vehicle OFF, all access doors closed, all vehicle systems OFF, and all keys at least 3 m (9.8 ft) away from vehicle. It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down. Disconnect the harness connectors at an easily accessible device that is not communicating.
Test for less than 10 Ω between each ground circuit terminal and ground.
- If 10 Ω or greater
1. Ignition/Vehicle 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.
- Go to next step: If less than 10 Ω
Ignition ON/Vehicle In Service Mode.
If equipped, verify a test lamp illuminates between each B+ circuit terminal and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is good
1. Ignition/Vehicle OFF, remove the test lamp.
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, verify the fuse is not open and there is voltage at the fuse.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is open
1. Ignition/Vehicle OFF, remove the test lamp.
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 disconnected device.
- Go to next step: If the test lamp illuminates
If equipped, verify a test lamp illuminates between each ignition circuit terminal, which has a fuse in the circuit, and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is good
1. Ignition/Vehicle OFF, remove the test lamp.
2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the ignition circuit end to end.
  - If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
  - If less than 2 Ω, verify the fuse is OK and there is voltage at the fuse.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is open
1. Ignition/Vehicle OFF, remove the test lamp.
2. Test for infinite resistance between the ignition circuit and ground.
  - If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
  - If infinite resistance, replace the disconnected device.
- Go to next step: If the test lamp illuminates
If equipped, verify a test lamp illuminates between each ignition circuit terminal, which is controlled by a control module, and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate
1. Ignition/Vehicle OFF, remove the test lamp, disconnect the harness connectors at the control module that controls the ignition circuit.
2. Test for infinite resistance between the ignition circuit and ground.
  - If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
  - Go to next step: If infinite resistance
3. Test for less than 2 Ω in the ignition circuit end to end.
  - If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
  - If less than 2 Ω, replace the control module that controls the ignition circuit.
- Go to next step: If the test lamp illuminates
Ignition/Vehicle OFF, all access doors closed, all vehicle systems OFF, and all keys at least 3 m (9.8 ft) away from vehicle. It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down.
Test for less than 2 Ω in each object high speed GMLAN serial data circuit end to end between the device harness connector and the appropriate X84 Data Link Connector terminals listed below.
- X84 Data Link Connector terminal 3
- X84 Data Link Connector terminal 11
- If 2 Ω or greater
  Repair the open/high resistance in the serial data circuit.
- Go to next step: If less than 2 Ω
Replace the device that was disconnected.
