Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Pontiac Torrent and 2008 Chevrolet Equinox. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the VCIM.
- Test for 15.5 volts or greater between the battery backup supply voltage circuit terminal 14 and ground.
- If less than specified range, test the supply voltage circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the backup battery.
- Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the battery backup supply voltage circuit terminal 14 and the backup battery low reference circuit terminal 13
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the low reference circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the backup battery.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the VCIM.
