Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Saturn Outlook, 2010 GMC Acadia, 2010 Chevrolet Traverse, and 2010 Buick Enclave. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
  • Use the schematic to identify the following:
    • Control modules and LIN devices the vehicle is equipped with
    • Control module and LIN device locations on the serial data circuit
    • The control module serial data circuit terminals and LIN device B+, ignition, ground, and serial data circuit terminals
  • Use the Control Module U-Code list to determine which control module is not communicating with the master control module. Refer to Control Module U Code List .
  • A loss of serial data communications DTC does not represent a failure of the master control module that set it.
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at a LIN device that is not communicating.
  2. Test for less than 5 Ω between each ground circuit terminal and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  3. If equipped, verify that a test lamp illuminates between each B+ circuit terminal and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit fuse is open, test the control circuits of the LIN device for a short to ground. If the circuits test normal, replace the LIN device.
  4. If equipped, ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between each ignition circuit terminal and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ignition circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit fuse is open, test the control circuits of the LIN device for a short to ground. If the circuits test normal, replace the LIN device.
  5. Ignition ON, test for 2-10 V between the LIN serial data circuit and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the LIN serial data circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the master control module.
    • If less than the specified range, test the LIN serial data circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the master control module.
  6. If all circuits test normal, replace the LIN device.
