Circuit/System Testing

  1. Vehicle OFF, scan tool disconnected and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the S48E Multifunction Switch-Center Console. It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down.
  2. Test for less than 5 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 9 and ground.
    • If 5 Ω or greater 
    1. Vehicle 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 
  3. Vehicle in Service Mode.
  4. Verify the scan tool Traction Control Switch parameter is Inactive.
    • If not Inactive 
    1. Vehicle OFF, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the K9 Body Control Module.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit terminal 14 and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
    • If Inactive 
  5. Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 5 and the ground circuit terminal 9.
  6. Verify the scan tool Traction Control Switch parameter is Active.
    • If not Active 
    1. Vehicle OFF, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the K9 Body Control Module, vehicle in service mode.
    2. Test for less than 1 V between the signal circuit and ground.
      • If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • If less than 1 V
    3. Vehicle OFF.
    4. Test for less than 2 Ω in the signal 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 Active 
  7. Test or replace the S48E Multifunction Switch-Center Console.
