Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Buick Lucerne. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connectors at the appropriate control modules listed below.
- ECM X1 and TCM (LD8 or L37)
- PCM X1 and TAC (L26)
- Connect a test lamp between the appropriate signal circuit terminal listed below and ground.
- TAC terminal 6 (L26)
- TCM terminal 42
- Ignition ON, verify the test lamp illuminates ON and OFF while pressing and releasing the brake pedal.
- If the test lamp is always ON, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- If the test lamp is always OFF, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- Ignition OFF, connect the harness connector at the TCM.
- Connect a test lamp between the appropriate signal circuit terminal listed below and ground.
- PCM terminal 32 (L26)
- ECM terminal 7 (LD8 or L37)
- Ignition ON, verify the test lamp illuminates ON and OFF while pressing and releasing the brake pedal.
- If the test lamp is always OFF, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the TCM.
- If all circuits tests normal, replace the ECM with (LD8 or L37), or PCM with (L26).
