Circuit/System Testing
NOTE:
Each device may need to be disconnected to isolate a circuit fault. Use the wiring schematics and connector end views to identify the following:
- Chassis high speed GMLAN devices and terminating resistors the vehicle is equipped with
- Device locations on the chassis high speed GMLAN serial data circuits
- Each device's ground, B+, ignition, and chassis high speed GMLAN serial data circuit terminals
