Circuit/System Testing

NOTE:

Use the schematics and connector end views to identify the device's ground, B+, ignition, accessory wake-up serial data, serial data communication enable, and serial data circuit terminals.

  1. Ignition/Vehicle OFF, all access doors closed, all vehicle systems OFF, and all keys at least 3 m (9.8 ft) away from vehicle. Disconnect the harness connectors at the K17 Electronic Brake Control Module (or K160 Brake System Control Module). It may take up to 10 min for all vehicle systems to power down.
  2. Test for less than 10 Ω between each of the ground circuit terminals and ground.
    • If 10 Ω or greater 
    1. Ignition/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.
    • Go to next step: If less than 10 Ω 
  3. Ignition ON/Vehicle In Service Mode.
  4. If equipped, verify a test lamp illuminates between each of the B+ circuit terminals and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is good 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle OFF, remove the test lamp.
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the B+ circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, verify the fuse is not open and there is voltage at the fuse.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is open 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle OFF, remove the test lamp.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the B+ circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance, replace the K17 Electronic Brake Control Module (or K160 Brake System Control Module).
    • Go to next step: If the test lamp illuminates 
  5. If equipped, verify a test lamp illuminates between each of the ignition circuit terminals and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is good 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle OFF, remove the test lamp.
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the ignition circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, verify the fuse is OK and there is voltage at the fuse.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is open 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle OFF, remove the test lamp.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the ignition circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance, replace the K17 Electronic Brake Control Module (or K160 Brake System Control Module).
    • Go to next step: If the test lamp illuminates 
  6. If equipped, verify a test lamp illuminates between the accessory wake-up serial data circuit terminal (circuit 5985) and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle OFF, remove the test lamp, disconnect the harness connectors at the K9 Body Control Module.
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the accessory wake-up serial data 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.
    • Go to next step: If the test lamp illuminates 
  7. If equipped, verify a test lamp illuminates between the serial data communication enable circuit terminal (circuit 5986) and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle OFF, remove the test lamp, disconnect the harness connectors at the K9 Body Control Module.
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the serial data communication enable 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.
    • Go to next step: If the test lamp illuminates 
  8. Ignition/Vehicle OFF, all access doors closed, all vehicle systems OFF, and all keys at least 3 m (9.8 ft) away from vehicle. Disconnect the harness connectors at the device setting the DTC. It may take up to 10 min for all vehicle systems to power down.
  9. Test for less than 2 Ω in each of the chassis high speed GMLAN serial data circuits end to end between the K17 Electronic Brake Control Module (or K160 Brake System Control Module) and the device setting the DTC.
    • If 2 Ω or greater 

      Repair the open/high resistance in the serial data circuit.

    • Go to next step: If less than 2 Ω 
  10. Replace the K17 Electronic Brake Control Module (or K160 Brake System Control Module).
