Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Chevrolet Volt. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connectors at the appropriate inoperative backlighting component.
- Disconnect the negative terminal of the C1 Battery.
- Test for less than 5 Ω between the black wire of the appropriate component and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Reconnect the negative terminal to the C1 Battery.
- Connect a test lamp between the control circuit of the appropriate component and ground.
- Command with the scan tool the LED Backlight Dimming test ON/OFF.
- If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 BCM.
- If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for open/high resistance or short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 BCM.
- If all circuit test normal, test or replace the appropriate inoperative backlighting component.
