Circuit/System Testing

  1. Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the X50A Fuse Block - Underhood. It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down.
  2. Test for less than 10 Ω between the X50A Fuse Block - Underhood ground circuit terminal 32 and ground.
    • If 10 Ω or greater 
    1. Ignition 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. Connect the X1 harness connector at the X50A Fuse Block - Underhood and disconnect the X4 harness connector at the K9 Body Control Module, ignition ON.
  4. Verify the G24 Windshield Washer Pump is not activated.
    • If the G24 Windshield Washer Pump is activated 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the X50A Fuse Block - Underhood, ignition ON.
    2. Test for less than 1 V between the X50A Fuse Block - Underhood control circuit terminal 30 and ground.
      • If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • If less than 1 V, test or replace the X50A Fuse Block - Underhood.
    • If the G24 Windshield Washer Pump is not activated 
  5. Connect a 10 A fused jumper wire between the control circuit terminal 14 X4 and B+.
  6. Verify the G24 Windshield Washer Pump activates.
    • If the G24 Windshield Washer Pump does not activate 
    1. Ignition OFF, remove the jumper wire, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the X50A Fuse Block - Underhood.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the X50A Fuse Block - Underhood control circuit terminal 30 X1 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 control circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, replace the X50A Fuse Block - Underhood.
    • If the G24 Windshield Washer Pump activates 
  7. Replace the K9 Body Control Module.
