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 for 120 seconds, disconnect the harness connector at the headlamp switch.
- Ignition ON, verify the scan tool Mode Switch parameter is Inactive.
- If not the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal 9 for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the VDAAW module.
- Install 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 9 and ground. Verify the scan tool Mode Switch parameter is Active.
- If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the VDAAW module.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the headlamp switch.
IMPORTANT:
Before disconnecting the harness connector at the VDAAW module, ensure that the ignition has been OFF for at least 120 seconds. Failure to do so may result in component damage.
