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 connector at the control modules for the appropriate engine RPO listed below.
- PCM X1 and TAC (with L26)
- ECM X1 and TCM (with LD8)
- Connect a test lamp between the appropriate signal circuit terminal listed below and ground.
- TAC terminal 6 (with L26)
- TCM terminal 42 (with LD8)
- Engine ON, press and release the brake pedal. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when 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 test 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 test normal, replace the BCM.
- Ignition OFF, connect the at the appropriate TAC or TCM control module.
- Connect a test lamp between the appropriate signal circuit terminal listed below and ground.
- PCM terminal 32 X1 (with L26)
- ECM terminal 77 X1 (with LD8)
- Engine ON, press and release the brake pedal. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when 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 test normal, replace the appropriate TAC or TCM.
- If all circuit tests normal, replace the appropriate PCM or ECM control module.
