Component Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Chevrolet Bolt EV. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
Refer to Test Probe Caution .
NOTE:
To prevent an incorrect reading when testing the center coax terminal, use care not to ground the test probe on the outer housing/shield.
Coax Cable - Test
- Verify the condition does not exist:
- Damaged component: Coax Cable
- Poor component electrical connections: Coax Cable
- Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems - Off
- Test for less than 5 ohms between the test points: Coax Cable Center & The other end of the circuit - Coax Cable Center
- If 5 ohms or greater
Replace the component: Coax Cable
- Go to next step: If less than 5 ohms
- If 5 ohms or greater
- Test for less than 5 ohms between the test points: Coax Cable Outer Shield &
The other end of the circuit - Coax Cable Outer Shield
- If 5 ohms or greater
Replace the component: Coax Cable
- Go to next step: If less than 5 ohms
- If 5 ohms or greater
- Test for infinite resistance between the test points: Coax Cable Center & Coax Cable Outer Shield
- If less than infinite resistance
- Replace the component: Coax Cable
- Go to next step: If infinite resistance
- All OK.
