Circuit/System Testing

NOTE: Use the schematics and connector end views to identify the device's ground, B+, ignition, accessory wake up serial data 2 and serial data circuit terminals.
  1. Ignition/Vehicle OFF, all access doors closed, all vehicle systems OFF and all keys at least 3 m (9.8 ft) away from vehicle. Disconnect the harness connectors at the K177 Brake Booster Control Module. It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down.
  2. 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.
    • If less than 10 Ω 
  3. Ignition ON/Vehicle in Service Mode.
  4. 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 K177 Brake Booster Control Module.
    • If the test lamp illuminates 
  5. If equipped, verify a test lamp illuminates between each ignition 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 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 K177 Brake Booster Control Module.
    • If the test lamp illuminates 
  6. If equipped, verify a test lamp illuminates between the accessory wakeup serial data 2 circuit terminal and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle OFF, remove the test lamp, disconnect the harness connectors at the K114B Hybrid/EV Powertrain Control Module 2.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the accessory wakeup serial data 2 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 accessory wakeup serial data 2 circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, replace the K114B Hybrid/EV Powertrain Control Module 2.
    • If the test lamp illuminates 
  7. Ignition/Vehicle OFF, all access doors closed, all vehicle systems OFF and all keys at least 3 m (9.8 ft) away from vehicle. Disconnect the harness connectors at the device setting the DTC. It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down.
  8. Test for less than 2 Ω in each Chassis high speed GMLAN serial data circuits end to end between the K177 Brake Booster Control Module and the device setting the DTC.
    • If 2 Ω or greater 

      Repair the open/high resistance in the serial data circuit.

    • If less than 2 Ω 
  9. Replace the K177 Brake Booster Control Module.
