Circuit/System Testing

NOTE: Use the schematics and connector end views to identify the device's ground, B+, ignition, serial data communication enable and serial data circuit terminals.
  1. Vehicle OFF, all access doors closed, all vehicle systems OFF and all keys at least 3 m (9.8 ft) away from vehicle. Disconnect the harness connectors at the K73 Telematics Communication Interface Control Module. It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down.
  2. Test for less than 10 Ω between each ground circuit terminal and ground.
    • If 10 Ω or greater 
    1. Vehicle OFF.
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the ground circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, repair the open/high resistance in the ground connection.
    • If less than 10 Ω 
  3. Vehicle in Service Mode.
  4. If equipped, verify a test lamp illuminates between each B+ circuit terminal and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is good 
    1. Vehicle OFF.
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the B+ circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, verify the fuse is not open and there is voltage at the fuse.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is open 
    1. Vehicle OFF.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the B+ circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance, replace the K73 Telematics Communication Interface Control Module.
    • If the test lamp illuminates 
  5. Vehicle in Service Mode.
  6. If equipped, verify a test lamp illuminates between each ignition circuit terminal and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is good 
    1. Vehicle OFF.
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the ignition circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, verify the fuse is OK and there is voltage at the fuse.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is open 
    1. Vehicle OFF.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the ignition circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance, replace the K73 Telematics Communication Interface Control Module.
    • If the test lamp illuminates 
  7. Vehicle in Service Mode.
  8. If equipped, verify a test lamp illuminates between the serial data communication enable circuit terminal and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate 
    1. Vehicle OFF, disconnect the harness connectors at the K9 Body Control Module.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the serial data communication enable circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance
    3. Test for less than 2 Ω in the serial data communication enable circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
    • If the test lamp illuminates 
  9. Vehicle OFF, all access doors closed, all vehicle systems OFF and all keys at least 3 m (9.8 ft) away from vehicle. Disconnect the harness connectors at the device setting the DTC. It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down.
  10. Test for less than 2 Ω in the low speed GMLAN serial data circuits end to end between the K73 Telematics Communication Interface Control Module and the device setting the DTC.
    • If 2 Ω or greater 

      Repair the open/high resistance in the serial data circuit.

    • If less than 2 Ω 
  11. Replace the K73 Telematics Communication Interface Control Module.
