Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Saturn Outlook, 2008 GMC Acadia, and 2008 Buick Enclave. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Test for less than 1.0 ohm between the ground circuit terminal 5 of the DLC and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for open/high resistance.
  2. Remove the terminator resistor.
  3. Test for 110-130 ohms between the terminals of the resistor.
    • If not within the specified range, replace the resistor.
  4. Connect the terminator resistor.
  5. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector X3 at the BCM.
  6. Test for less than 2 ohms on the serial data circuit between terminal 6 of the DLC and terminal 8 of the BCM.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the serial data circuit for open/high resistance.
  7. Verify a test lamp illuminates between each ground circuit terminal of the BCM listed below and B+.
    • X3 terminal 1
    • X3 terminal 5
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  8. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector X4 of the BCM.
  9. Ignition ON, verify a test lamp illuminates between each B+ circuit terminal of the BCM listed below and ground.
    • X4 terminal 1
    • X4 terminal 3
    • X4 terminal 4
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for an open/high resistance or short to ground.
  10. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector of the EBCM.
  11. Ignition ON, test for less than 1 volt between the serial data circuit terminal 6 of the DLC and ground, and terminal 14 of the DLC and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the serial data circuit for a short to voltage.
  12. Test for infinite resistance between the serial data circuit terminal 6 of the DLC and ground, and terminal 14 of the DLC and ground.
    • If less than the specified value, test the serial data circuit for a short to ground.
  13. Test for infinite resistance between the serial data circuits terminal 6 and terminal 14 of the DLC.
    • If less than the specified value, test the serial data circuits for a short between them.
  14. Connect the harness connectors of the BCM and the EBCM.
  15. Disconnect the harness connector X3 of the ECM.
  16. Attempt to communicate with the vehhicle communication interface module (VCIM). Communication should not be available.
    • If communication is available, replace the ECM.
  17. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector X1 of the right headlamp module, if equipped with RPO TSH.
  18. Attempt to communicate with the VCIM. Communication should not be available.
    • If communication is available, test the serial data circuits for a short between the circuits, short to voltage, or a short to ground between the ECM and the right headlamp module. If the circuits test normal, replace the right headlamp module.
  19. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector X1 of the TCM.
  20. Attempt to communicate with the VCIM. Communication should not be available.
    • If communication is available, test the serial data circuits for a short between the circuits, short to voltage, or a short to ground between the TCM and the module listed. If the circuits test normal, replace the TCM.
      • Right headlamp module - with TSH
      • ECM - without TSH
  21. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector of the EBCM.
  22. Attempt to communicate with the VCIM. Communication should not be available.
    • If communication is available, test the serial data circuits for a short between the circuits, short to voltage, or a short to ground between the EBCM and the TCM. If the circuits test normal, replace the EBCM.
  23. Ignition OFF, connect the harness connectors of the EBCM, TCM, ECM, and the right headlamp module.
  24. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector X2 of the rear differential clutch control module, if equiped with RPO MH6.
  25. Attempt to communicate with the EBCM. Communication should not be available.
    • If communication is available, replace the rear differential clutch control module.
  26. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connectors X1 and, X2 of the VCIM. Attempt to communicate with the EBCM. Communication should not be available.
    • If equipped with RPO MH6, and communication is available, test the serial data circuits for a short between the circuits, short to voltage, or a short to ground between the VCIM and the rear differential clutch control module. If the circuits test normal, replace the VCIM.
    • If not equipped with RPO MH6, and communication is available, test the serial data circuits for a short between the circuits, short to voltage, or a short to ground between the VCIM and the data link resistor. If the circuits test normal, replace the VCIM.
  27. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector X3 of the BCM.
  28. Ignition ON, test for less than 1 volt between the serial data circuits of BCM terminal 8 and ground, and between BCM terminal 9 and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the circuit for a short to voltage.
