Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2018 GMC Yukon XL, 2018 GMC Yukon, 2018 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2018 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2018 Cadillac Escalade ESV. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Circuit/System Verification must be performed before Circuit/System Testing.
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the S48A Multifunction Switch - Instrument Panel. It may take up to 5 min for all vehicle systems to power down.
  2. Test for less than 5 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 8 and ground.
    • If 5 Ω or greater 
    1. Ignition 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.
    • Go to next step: If less than 5 Ω 
  3. Ignition ON.
  4. Verify the scan tool Body Control Module Traction Control Switch parameter is Inactive.
    • If not Inactive 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the K9 Body Control Module.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit terminal 14 X2 and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
    • Go to next step: If Inactive 
  5. Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 2 and the ground circuit terminal 8.
  6. Verify the scan tool Traction Control Switch parameter is Active.
    • If not Active 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the K9 Body Control Module, ignition ON.
    2. Test for less than 1 V between the signal circuit and ground.
      • If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • Go to next step: If less than 1 V.
    3. Test for less than 2 Ω in the signal 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.
    • Go to next step: If Active 
  7. Test or replace the S48A Multifunction Switch - Instrument Panel.
