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.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the KR27 starter relay.
- Ignition OFF and scan tool disconnected, open and close the driver door, and wait 1 minute. Test for less than 10 Ω between the relay ground circuit terminal 86 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Ignition ON, verify a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 30 and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between the control circuit terminal 87 and ground.
- If the test lamp illuminates, test the control circuit for a short to voltage.
- Parking brake applied, transmission in neutral or park. Momentarily install a 30 A fused jumper wire between the B+ circuit terminal 30 and the control circuit terminal 87. Verify the starter is activated.
- If the starter does not activate, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the M64 starter.
- Ignition OFF, connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 85 and the ground circuit terminal 86.
- With the transmission range selector in park or neutral, cycle the ignition between the OFF and CRANK position. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
- If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 ECM.
- If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 ECM.
- If all circuits tests normal, replace the KR27 starter relay.
