Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 GMC Acadia, 2011 Chevrolet Traverse, and 2011 Buick Enclave. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the backup lamp.
- Test for less than 5 Ω between the ground circuit terminal listed below and ground:
- RPO Z88 - terminal 1
- RPO WDA - terminal 2
- RPO W49/X88 - terminal B
- If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal listed below and the ground circuit terminal:
- RPO Z88 - terminal 2
- RPO WDA - terminal 1
- RPO W49/X88 - terminal A
- Command the Backup Lamps ON and OFF with a scan tool. 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 a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- 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 BCM.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the backup lamp.
