Right SOD Sensor Malfunction

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Buick Lucerne. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the right SOD sensor.
  2. Test for less than 5.0 ohms between the ground circuit terminals listed below and ground.
    • Right SOD Sensor Terminal 5
    • Right SOD Sensor Terminal 6
    • If greater than the specified range, test the appropriate ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  3. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 2 and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
  4. If all circuits test normal, replace the right SOD sensor.
