Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Chevrolet Bolt EV. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems - Off
- Disconnect the electrical connector: KR76 Retained Accessory Power Relay
- Test for less than 10 ohms between the test points: Ground circuit terminal 3 & Ground
- If 10 ohms or greater
- Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems - Off
- Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points: Ground circuit @ Component harness & The other end of the circuit
- If 2 ohms or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 ohms - Repair the open/high resistance in the ground connection.
- Go to next step: If less than 10 ohms
- Ignition - On/Vehicle - In Service Mode
- Connect a test lamp between the test points: Control circuit terminal 5 & Ground circuit terminal 3
- Cycle the ignition from OFF to ON. - Verify the test lamp turns On and Off.
- If the test lamp is always Off
- Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems - Off
- Disconnect the electrical connector: K84 Keyless Entry Control Module
- Test for infinite resistance between the test points: Control Circuit & Ground
- If less than infinite resistance - Repair the short to ground on the circuit.
- Go to next step: If infinite resistance
- Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points: Ground circuit @ Component harness & The other end of the circuit
- If 2 ohms or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 ohms - Replace the component: K84 Keyless Entry Control Module
- If the test lamp is always On
- Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems - Off
- Disconnect the electrical connector: K84 Keyless Entry Control Module
- Test for less than 1 V between the test points: Control Circuit & Ground
- If 1 V or greater - Repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
- If less than 1 V - Replace the component: K84 Keyless Entry Control Module
- Go to next step: If the test lamp turns On and Off
- Replace the component: KR76 Retained Accessory Power Relay
NOTE:
It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down before an accurate ground or low reference circuit continuity test can be performed.
