Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Chevrolet Spark. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Ignition OFF, exterior lamps OFF, remove the E7 license plate lamp bulb. It may take up to 2 minutes for all vehicle systems to power down.
Test for less than 5 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 1 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
Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 2 and ground, ignition ON.
Verify the test lamp turns ON and OFF when commanding the License Plate Lamps ON and OFF with a scan tool.
- If the test lamp is always OFF
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X4 harness connector at the K9 body control module.
2. Test for infinite resistance between the control circuit and ground.
  - If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
  - If infinite resistance
3. 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 K9 body control module.
- If the test lamp is always ON
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X4 harness connector at the K9 body control module, ignition ON.
2. Test for less than 1 V between the control circuit terminal and ground.
  - If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
  - If less than 1 V, replace the K9 body control module.
- If the test lamp turns ON and OFF
Test or replace the E7 license plate lamp bulb.
