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 connector at the S16 Driver Information Center Switch.
- Ignition ON, test for 11.8-12.2 V between the 12 V reference circuit terminal 11 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the 12 V reference circuit for short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 BCM.
- If less than the specified range, test the 12 V reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 BCM.
- Verify the scan tool Incandescent Dimming parameter is less than 10%.
- If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit terminal 10 for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 BCM.
- Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 10 and the 12 V reference circuit terminal 11. Verify the scan tool Incandescent Dimming parameter is greater than 90%.
- If less than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 BCM.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the S16 Driver Information Center Switch.
