Circuit/System Testing

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

Left Side Object Sensor Malfunction

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B94L Side Object Sensor - Left.
  2. Test for less than 5 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 4 and ground.
    • If greater than the specified value, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  3. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 7 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 B94L Side Object Sensor - Left.

Right Side Object Sensor Malfunction

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B94R Side Object Sensor - Right.
  2. Test for less than 5 Ω between the ground circuit terminals listed below and ground:
    • Terminal 4
    • Terminal 3
    • If greater than the specified value, test the appropriate ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  3. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 7 and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
  4. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B94L Side Object Sensor - Left.
  5. Ignition ON, test for less than 0.3 V between the serial data circuit terminal 5 and ground.
    • If greater than the specified value, test the serial data circuit for a short to voltage.
  6. Test for infinite resistance between the serial data circuit terminal 5 and ground.
    • If not the specified value, test the serial data circuit for a short to ground.
  7. Test for less than 5 Ω between the serial data circuit terminal 5 at the B94L Side Object Sensor - Left harness connector and the serial data circuit terminal 5 at the B94R Side Object Sensor - Right harness connector.
    • If greater than the specified value, test the serial data circuit for an open/high resistance.
  8. If all circuits test normal, replace the B94R Side Object Sensor - Right.

Side Object Indicator Malfunction

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate A9 Outside Rearview Mirror.
  2. Test for less than 5 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 4 and ground.
    • If greater than the specified value, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  3. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 11 and the ground circuit terminal 4.
  4. Ignition ON, verify the test lamp briefly illuminates during the system self test.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, replace the appropriate side object sensor.
    • If the test lamp remains illuminated at all time, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuits test normal, replace the appropriate side object sensor.
  5. If all circuits test normal, replace the appropriate A9 Outside Rearview Mirror.
