Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Buick Verano. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ignition OFF and vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the K73 telematics communication interface control module, ignition ON.
  2. Test for less than 4 V between the signal circuits listed below and ground
    • Signal + Circuit Terminal 1
    • Signal - Circuit Terminal 2
    • If greater than 4 V 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the A11 Radio, ignition ON.
    2. Test for less than 1 V between the signal circuits and ground.
      • If greater than 1 V, repair the short to voltage in the circuit.
      • If less then 1 V, replace the A11 Radio.
    • If less than 4 V 
  3. Ignition OFF.
  4. Test for infinite resistance between the K73 telematics communication interface control module signal circuits listed below and ground
    • Signal + Circuit Terminal 1
    • Signal - Circuit Terminal 2
    • If less than infinite resistance 

      Repair the short to ground on the circuit.

    • If infinite resistance 
  5. Disconnect the X1 harness connector at the A11 Radio.
  6. Test for less than 2 Ω in the signal circuits listed below end to end.
    • Signal + Circuit Terminal 1
    • Signal - Circuit Terminal 2
    • If 2 Ω or greater 

      Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.

    • If less than 2 Ω 
  7. Replace the K73 telematics communication interface control module.
  8. Verify that the Connecting to OnStar® message is heard clearly through the audio system when the OnStar® blue button is pressed.
    • If audio is not heard clearly 

      Replace the A11 radio.

    • If audio is heard clearly 
  9. All OK.
