Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Buick Verano. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

With C67

  1. Ignition OFF, scan tool disconnected, all doors closed, all accessories OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B10B ambient light/sunload sensor. It may take up to 2 minutes for all vehicle systems to power down.
  2. Test for less than 5 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 6 and ground.
    • If 5 Ω or greater 
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. 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 5 Ω 
  3. Ignition ON.
  4. Verify the scan tool Ambient Light Sensor parameter is greater than 4.65 V.
    • If 4.65 V or less 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the K9 body control module.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit terminal 5 and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance, replace the K9 body control module.
    • If greater than 4.65 V 
  5. Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 5 and the ground circuit terminal 6.
  6. Verify the scan tool Ambient Light Sensor parameter is less than 0.196 V.
    • If 0.196 V or greater 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the K9 body control module, ignition ON.
    2. Test for less than 1 V between the signal circuit terminal 5 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 K9 body control module.
    • If less than 0.196 V 
  7. Test or replace the B10B ambient light/sunload sensor.

With CJ2

  1. Ignition OFF, scan tool disconnected, all doors closed, all accessories OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B10B ambient light/sunload sensor. It may take up to 2 minutes for all vehicle systems to power down.
  2. Test for less than 10 Ω between the low reference circuit terminal 6 and ground.
    • If 10 Ω or greater 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the K33 HVAC control module.
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the low reference circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, replace the K33 HVAC control module.
    • If less than 10 Ω 
  3. Ignition ON.
  4. Verify the scan tool Ambient Light Sensor parameter is greater than 4.65 V.
    • If 4.65 V or less 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the K9 body control module.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit terminal 5 and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance, replace the K9 body control module.
    • If greater than 4.65 V 
  5. Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 5 and the low reference circuit terminal 6.
  6. Verify the scan tool Ambient Light Sensor parameter is less than 0.196 V.
    • If 0.196 V or greater 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the K9 body control module, ignition ON.
    2. Test for less than 1 V between the signal circuit terminal 5 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 K9 body control module.
    • If less than 0.196 V 
  7. Test or replace the B10B ambient light/sunload sensor.
