Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Cadillac STS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connectors at the appropriate control modules listed below.
- ECM X1 - with LH2/LC3
- ECM X2 - with LLT
- TCM
- Connect a test lamp between the appropriate signal circuit terminal listed below and ground.
- ECM terminal 7 - with LH2/LC3
- ECM terminal 52 - with LLT
- TCM terminal 8
- Ignition ON, verify the test lamp turns ON and OFF when pressing and releasing the brake pedal.
- If the test lamp is always ON, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the stop lamp relay.
- If the test lamp is always OFF, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the stop lamp relay.
- Ignition OFF, connect the harness connector at the TCM.
- Connect a test lamp between the appropriate signal circuit terminal listed below and ground.
- ECM terminal 7 - with LH2/LC3
- ECM terminal 52 - with LLT
- Ignition ON, verify the test lamp turns ON and OFF when pressing and releasing the brake pedal.
- If the test lamp is always ON, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the TCM.
- If the test lamp is always OFF, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the TCM.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the ECM.
