Circuit/System 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.
- Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems - Off - It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down before an accurate ground or low reference circuit continuity test can be performed.
- Disconnect the electrical connector: X3 @ T3 Audio Amplifier
- Ignition - On/Vehicle - In Service Mode - A11 Radio - ON
- Verify a test lamp turns On between the test points: Control circuit terminal 8 & Ground
- If the test lamp does not turn On
- Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems - Off
- Disconnect the electrical connector: X1 @ A11 Radio
- Test for infinite resistance between the test points: Control circuit terminal 8 & Ground
- If less than infinite resistance - Repair the short to ground on the circuit.
- Go to next step: If infinite resistance
- Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points: Control circuit terminal 8 & The other end of the circuit
- If greater than 2 ohms - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 ohms - Replace the component: A11 Radio
- Go to next step: If the test lamp turns On
- Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems - Off
- Connect the electrical connector: X3 @ T3 Audio Amplifier
- Ignition - On/Vehicle - In Service Mode - A11 Radio - ON
- Verify DTC B1265 is not set.
- If DTC B1265 is set
Replace the component: T3 Audio Amplifier
- Go to next step: If DTC B1265 is not set
- If DTC B1265 is set
- All OK.
