Circuit/System Testing
- This procedure will only diagnose factory installed equipment and wiring up to the X88B Tow Vehicle Electrical Receptacle.
- A circuit fault or damage with the customer supplied equipment is not diagnosed or supported by GM service information.
- Inspect the X88B Tow Vehicle Electrical Receptacle for corrosion and/or visible damage.
- If corrosion and/or visible damage exists
Repair or replace as necessary
- Go to next step: If no condition exists.
- If corrosion and/or visible damage exists
- Ignition/vehicle OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the X88B Tow Vehicle Electrical Receptacle.
- Verify a test lamp illuminates between ground circuit terminal B and B+.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate.
- Repair the open/high resistance on the ground circuit or ground connection.
- Go to next step: If the test lamp illuminates.
- Connect a test lamp between control circuit terminal F and ground. ignition ON/vehicle in service mode.
- Verify the test lamp turns ON and OFF when commanding the Trailer Tail Lamps ON and OFF with a scan tool.
- If the test lamp is always OFF
- Test circuit 2109 for a short to ground.
- If a short to ground is found, repair the fault on the circuit.
- Go to next step: If a short to ground is not found
- Test circuit 2109 for an open/high resistance
- If an open/high resistance is found, repair the fault on the circuit.
- Go to next step: If an open/high resistance is not found.
- Replace the K68 Trailer Lamp Control Module.
- If the test lamp is always ON
- Test circuit 2109 for a short to voltage.
- If a short to voltage is found, repair the fault on the circuit.
- Go to next step: If a short to voltage is not found.
- Replace the K68 Trailer Lamp Control Module.
- Go to next step: If the test lamp turns ON and OFF
- Test or replace the X88B Tow Vehicle Electrical Receptacle.
NOTE:
NOTE:
The control circuit has tested good to this point. Verify the electrical system on the customers trailer is functioning properly before continuing.
