Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF. It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down.
- Disconnect the X1 harness connector at the X53A Body Wiring Harness Junction Block - Rear.
- Test for less than 10 Ω between the X53A Body Wiring Harness Junction Block - Rear ground circuit terminal 5 X1 and ground.
- Ignition OFF.
- 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 10 Ω
- Connect the X1 harness connector at the X53A Body Wiring Harness Junction Block - Rear. Disconnect the X5 harness connector at the K9 Body Control Module, ignition ON.
- Verify the E18 Rear Window Defogger Grid is not activated.
- If the E18 Rear Window Defogger Grid is activated
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the X53A Body Wiring Harness Junction Block - Rear, ignition ON.
- Test for less than 1 V between the K9 Body Control Module circuit 193 and ground.
- If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
- If less than 1 V, test or replace the X53A Body Wiring Harness Junction Block - Rear.
- Go to next step: If the E18 Rear Window Defogger Grid is not activated
- Connect a 3 A fused jumper wire between the control circuit terminal 22 X5 and B+.
- Verify the E18 Rear Window Defogger Grid activates.
- If the E18 Rear Window Defogger Grid does not activate
- Ignition OFF, remove the jumper wire, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the X53A Body Wiring Harness Junction Block - Rear.
- Test for infinite resistance between the K9 Body Control Module circuit 193 and 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 Ω in the control circuit end to end.
- If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 Ω, replace the X53A Body Wiring Harness Junction Block - Rear.
- Go to next step: If the E18 Rear Window Defogger Grid activates
- Replace the K9 Body Control Module.
