Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Suzuki XL7. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Using the DTC Descriptor and Diagnostic Aids above, determine the module that is not communicating that should be tested.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector of the module that is not communicating.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between all battery positive voltage circuits and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, repair the circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit fuse is open, also test the positive voltage outputs of the module for a short to ground. If the circuits test normal, replace the faulty module.
- Verify that a test lamp illuminates between all ignition voltage circuits and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, repair the circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit fuse is open, also test the positive voltage outputs of the module for a short to ground. If the circuits test normal, replace the faulty module.
- Test for less than 1 Ω of resistance between the module ground circuits and ground.
- If greater than 1 Ω, repair the ground circuit for an open.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the module that is not communicating.
