Circuit/System Testing

  1. Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the M7 Transmission Shift Lock Control Solenoid Actuator. It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down.
  2. Test for less than 10 Ω between the ground circuit terminal B and ground.
    • If greater than 10 Ω 
    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 10 Ω 
  3. Install a test lamp between the control circuit terminal A and the ground circuit terminal B, ignition ON.
  4. Verify the test lamp turns ON and OFF when commanding the Brake Transmission Shift Interlock Solenoid Actuator Command parameter with the scan tool.
    • If test lamp is always OFF 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the 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
    4. Ignition ON.
    5. Verify a test lamp illuminates between each B+ and ignition circuit terminal at the control module harness connector.
      • If the test lamp does not illuminate, repair the circuit or fuse as necessary.
      • If the test lamp does illuminates at each B+ and ignition circuit, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
    • If test lamp is always ON 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at K9 Body Control Module, ignition on.
    2. Test for less than 1 V between the control circuit 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 
  5. Test or replace the M7 Transmission Shift Lock Control Solenoid Actuator.
