Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Chevrolet Trax and 2016 Buick Encore. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Lane Departure Warning Switch Malfunction

  1. Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the S48E Multifunction Switch - Center Console. It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down.
  2. Test for less than 10 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 9 and ground.
    • If 10 Ω or greater 
    1. Test for less than 2 Ω in the ground circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, repair the open/high resistance in the ground connection.
    • If less than 10 Ω 
  3. Ignition ON.
  4. Verify the scan tool Lane Departure Warning Switch Status parameter is Open.
    • If not Open 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K109 Frontview Camera Module.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the S48E Multifunction Switch - Center Console signal circuit terminal 7 and ground.
    • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
    • If infinite resistance, replace the K109 Frontview Camera Module.
    • If Open 
  5. Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 7 and ground.
  6. Verify DTC B356A 02 sets in approximately 10s.
    • If DTC does not set 
    1. Ignition OFF, remove the jumper wire, disconnect the harness connector at the K109 Frontview Camera Module, ignition ON.
    2. Test for less than 1 V between the signal circuit and ground.
      • If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • If less than 1 V
    3. Test for less than 2 Ω in the signal circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, replace the K109 Frontview Camera Module.
    • If DTC sets 
  7. Test or replace the S48E Multifunction Switch - Center Console.

Lane Departure Warning Switch Indicator Malfunction

  1. Ignition OFF, and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the S48E Multifunction Switch - Center Console, ignition ON.
  2. Test for 9.1 - 12.6 V between the dimming control circuit terminal 8 and ground.
    NOTE:

    Verify interior lighting dimming is turned all the way up.

    • If less than 9.1 V 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the K9 Body Control Module.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the control circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance
    3. Test for less than 2 Ω in the control circuit end to end.
    • If greater than 12.6 V 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the K9 Body Control Module, ignition ON.
    2. Test for less than 1 V between the control circuit and ground.
    • If between 9.1-12.6 V 
  3. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K109 Frontview Camera Module, ignition ON.
  4. Test for less than 1 V between the control circuit terminal 6 and ground.
    • If 1 V or greater 

      Repair the short to voltage on the circuit.

    • If less than 1 V 
  5. Ignition OFF.
  6. Test for infinite resistance between the control circuit terminal 6 and ground.
    • If less than infinite resistance 

      Repair the short to ground on the circuit.

    • If infinite resistance 
  7. Test for less than 5 Ω between the K109 Frontview Camera Module terminal 4 and S48E Multifunction Switch - Center Console circuit terminal 6.
    • If greater than 5 Ω 

      Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.

    • If less than 5 Ω 
  8. Test or replace the S48E Multifunction Switch - Center Console.
  9. Verify the lane departure switch Indicator turns ON and OFF when pressing and releasing the lane departure warning switch.
    • If indicator does not turn on and off 

      Replace K109 Frontview Camera Module.

    • If indicator turns on and off 
  10. All OK.
