Circuit/System Testing: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Chevrolet Malibu Limited. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Each device may need to be disconnected to isolate a circuit fault.
Use the schematic to identify the following:
- High speed GMLAN devices the vehicle is equipped with
- High speed GMLAN serial data circuit terminating resistors
- Device locations on the high speed GMLAN serial data circuits
- Each device's ground, B+, ignition and high speed GMLAN serial data circuit terminals
Some devices with an internal terminating resistor have a loop in the harness that connects the internal terminating resistor to the serial data circuit. When wired this way, test these loop circuits for the appropriate failure mode short to voltage, short to ground or open/high resistance prior to replacing the device for each of the following tests.
