Circuit/System Testing: Notes

NOTE: Use the schematic to identify the following:
  • Control modules the vehicle is equipped with
  • Control module and splice pack locations on the low speed GMLAN serial data circuit
  • The low speed GMLAN serial data circuit terminals for each control module, component, or splice pack
  1. Attempt to communicate with all control modules on the low speed GMLAN serial data circuit. Refer to Data Link References . Communications should not be available with two or more control modules on the low speed GMLAN serial data circuit.
  2. Disconnect the scan tool from the DLC. The following tests will be done at the DLC connector.
  3. All access doors closed, ignition OFF for 60 seconds, test for less than 10 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 5 and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  4. Ignition ON, test for less than 4.5 V between the serial data circuit terminal 1 and ground.
  5. Ignition OFF for 60 seconds, test for greater than 100 Ω between the serial data circuit terminal 1 and ground.
  6. Disconnect the harness connector at the first splice pack closest in the circuit to the DLC.
  7. Test for less than 2 Ω between the DLC serial data circuit terminal 1 and the splice pack connector serial data input terminal.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the serial data circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the splice pack.
