Circuit/System Testing

Test 1

  1. Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems » Off
  2. Disconnect the appropriate electrical connector:
    • A23D Door Latch Assembly - Driver
    • A23LR Door Latch Assembly - Left Rear
    • A23P Door Latch Assembly - Passenger
    • A23RR Door Latch Assembly - Right Rear
  3. Connect a test lamp between the test points:
    • A23D Door Latch Assembly - Driver: Control circuit terminal 6 & Control circuit terminal 8
    • A23P Door Latch Assembly - Passenger: Control circuit terminal 10 & Control circuit terminal 8
    • A23LR Door Latch Assembly - Left Rear: Control circuit terminal 6 & Control circuit terminal 8
    • A23RR Door Latch Assembly - Right Rear: Control circuit terminal 10 & Control circuit terminal 8
  4. Ignition » On / Vehicle » In Service Mode
  5. Perform the scan tool control function: Door Dead Lock Lock/Unlock » Lock & Unlock
  6. Verify the test lamp does not turn On and Off.
    • If the test lamp turns On and Off 

      Test or replace the component: A23 Door Latch Assembly

    • If the test lamp does not turn On and Off 
  7. Ignition/Vehicle » Off
  8. Disconnect the electrical connector: X6 at K9 Body Control Module
  9. Disconnect the electrical connector: X3 at X53A Fuse Block - Rear Body
  10. Test for less than 2 Ω between the test points:
    • Control circuit terminal 8 at A23D Door Latch Assembly - Driver & Control circuit terminal 4 X6 at Control module harness
    • Control circuit terminal 8 at A23LR Door Latch Assembly - Left Rear & Control circuit terminal 4 X6 at Control module harness
    • Control circuit terminal 8 at A23P Door Latch Assembly - Passenger & Control circuit terminal 4 X6 at Control module harness
    • Control circuit terminal 8 at A23RR Door Latch Assembly - Right Rear & Control circuit terminal 4 X6 at Control module harness
    • Control circuit terminal 10 at A23P Door Latch Assembly - Passenger & Control circuit terminal 17 X3 at Fuse Block Harness
    • Control circuit terminal 10 at A23RR Door Latch Assembly - Right Rear & Control circuit terminal 17 X3 at Fuse Block Harness
    • Control circuit terminal 6 at A23D Door Latch Assembly - Driver & Control circuit terminal 17 X3 at Fuse Block Harness
    • Control circuit terminal 6 at A23LR Door Latch Assembly - Left Rear & Control circuit terminal 17 X3 at Fuse Block Harness
    • If 2 Ω or greater » Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
    • If less than 2 Ω 
  11. Test or replace the component: K9 Body Control Module

Test 2

    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.

  1. Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems » Off
  2. Disconnect the electrical connector: X2 at X53A Fuse Block - Rear Body
  3. Test for less than 10 Ω between the test points: Ground circuit terminal 27 & Ground
    • If 10 Ω or greater 
    1. Ground Connection » Disconnect
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω between the test points: Ground circuit terminal 27 & Ground Connection
      • 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 
  4. Connect the electrical connector: X2 at X53A Fuse Block - Rear Body
  5. Disconnect the electrical connector: X7 at K9 Body Control Module
  6. Ignition » On / Vehicle » In Service Mode
  7. Momentarily connect a 3 A fused jumper wire between the test points: Control circuit terminal 10 & B+

    Verify the component produces a clicking sound: A23D Door Latch Assembly - Driver

    • If the component does not produce a sound 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle » Off & Remove » Jumper wire(s)
    2. Disconnect the electrical connector: X2 at X53A Fuse Block - Rear Body
    3. Ignition » On / Vehicle » In Service Mode
