Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. Disconnect the MGU X2 and the SGCM X2 connectors. Refer to Generator with Starter Replacement  and Generator Control Module Replacement .
  2. Test the circuits in the SGCM to MGU Terminal Reference Table as indicated below. Also test these circuits for short to ground.
    • If any of the circuits are not within specification, repair the open/high resistance or short to ground.
  3. Reconnect MGU connector X2.
  4. Test the circuits in the MGU to SGCM Specification Table to ground as indicated below.
    • If all circuits test normal, replace the MGU.
  5. Reconnect the MGU X2 connector and disconnect the SGCM X2 connector. Refer to Generator with Starter Replacement  and Generator Control Module Replacement .
  6. Test the circuits in the SGCM to MGU Specification Table as indicated below.
    • If any of the circuits are not within the specified range, replace the SGCM.
