Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Buick LaCrosse. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Green LED Test
- Ignition OFF, and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the A10 Inside Rearview Mirror. It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down. Doors closed, courtesy lamps OFF.
- Test for less than 10 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 5 and ground.
- If 10 Ω or greater
- Ignition OFF.
- 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
- Ignition ON.
- Test for less than 1 V between the control circuit terminal 6 and ground while commanding the Green Indicator OFF with a scan tool.
- If 1 V or greater
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the K73 Telematics Communication Interface Control Module, ignition ON.
- 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, replace the K73 Telematics Communication Interface Control Module.
- If less than 1 V
- Test for greater than 8 V between the control circuit terminal 6 and ground while commanding the Green Indicator ON with a scan tool.
- If 8 V or less
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the K73 Telematics Communication Interface Control Module.
- 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
- Test for less than 2 Ω in the control circuit end to end.
- If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 Ω, replace the K73 Telematics Communication Interface Control Module.
- If greater than 8 V
- Test or replace the A10 Inside Rearview Mirror.

- If less than 2 Ω, repair the open/high resistance in the ground connection.
- If less than 10 Ω
- Ignition ON.
- Test for less than 1 V between the control circuit terminal 7 and ground while commanding the Red Indicator OFF with a scan tool.
- If 1 V or greater
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the K73 Telematics Communication Interface Control Module, ignition ON.
- Test for less than 1 V between the control circuit terminal 7 and ground.
- If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
- If less than 1 V, replace the K73 Telematics Communication Interface Control Module.
- If less than 1 V
- Test for greater than 8 V between the control circuit terminal 7 and ground while commanding the Red Indicator ON with a scan tool.
- If 8 V or less
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the K73 Telematics Communication Interface Control Module.
