Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 GMC Terrain and 2010 Chevrolet Equinox. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the A20 Radio/HVAC Controls.
- Test for less than 5 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 17 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Connect a test lamp between the backlight control circuit terminal 16 and ground.
- Ignition ON, vary the interior lamp dimming switch from dim to full bright. The test lamp should dim and then become full bright.
- If the test lamp is always bright, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 BCM.
- If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for open/high resistance or short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 BCM.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the A20 Radio/HVAC Controls.
