Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Buick Lucerne. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- With a scan tool verify that communication is not available for all high speed serial data modules.
- If any high speed module communicates and any DTC beginning with a U exists, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle for diagnostics
- If any high speed module communicates and no DTC beginning with a U exists, Refer to DTC U0100-U0299 for diagnostics
- Test for less than 1.0 ohm of resistance between the DLC ground circuit terminal 5 and ground.
- If greater than 1.0 ohm, test the ground circuit for open/high resistance.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector of the BCM.
- Ignition ON, test for battery voltage between each voltage input circuit of the BCM and ground.
- If less than battery voltage, test each voltage output circuit of the BCM for a short to ground, and each voltage input circuit of the BCM for a short to ground or and open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, replace the faulty module.
- Test for less than 1 ohm of resistance between each ground circuit of the BCM and ground.
- If greater than 1 ohm, repair the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Remove the terminator resistor located in the rear fuse block.
- Attempt to communicate with the EBCM. Communication should not be available.
- If communication is established, test or replace the resistor.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector of the suspension control module.
- Attempt to communicate with the EBCM. Communication should not be available.
- If communication is established, test the serial data circuits for a short between them, short to ground or a short to voltage between the suspension control module and the terminator resistor. If the circuits test normal, replace the suspension control module.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector of the distance sensing cruise control module.
- Attempt to communicate with the EBCM. Communication should not be available.
- If communication is established, replace the cruise control module.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector of the vehicle communication interface module.
- Attempt to communicate with the EBCM. Communication should not be available.
- If communication is established, test the serial data circuits for a short between them, short to ground or a short to voltage between the between the vehicle communication interface module and the suspension control module. If the circuits test normal, replace the vehicle communication interface module.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect BCM harness connector C3.
- Test for infinite resistance between the serial data circuits of BCM harness connector C3 terminal 8 and ground and between BCM harness connector C3 terminal 9 and ground.
- If less than infinite, test the circuit for a short to ground.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector of the engine control module. Connect the harness connector C3 of the BCM
- Attempt to communicate with the EBCM. Communication should not be available.
- If communication is established, replace the engine control module.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector of the transmission control module.
- Attempt to communicate with the EBCM. Communication should not be available.
- If communication is established, test the serial data circuits for a short between them, short to ground or a short to voltage between the transmission control module and the engine control module. If the circuits test normal, replace the transmission control module.
- Ignition OFF, connect the harness connector of the suspension control module. Disconnect the harness connector of the EBCM.
- Attempt to communicate with the suspension control module. Communication should not be available.
- If communication is established, test the serial data circuits for a short between them, short to ground or a short to voltage between the EBCM and the transmission control module. If the circuits test normal, replace the EBCM.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector C3 of the BCM.
- Test for less than 1 volt between the high speed GMLAN serial data circuits of the DLC and ground.
- If greater than 1 volt, test the serial data circuit for a short to voltage.
- Test for infinite resistance between the high speed GMLAN serial data circuit of the DLC and ground.
- If less than infinite resistance, test the serial data circuit for a short to ground.
- Test for infinite resistance between the high speed GMLAN serial data (+) and (-) circuits of the DLC.
- If less than infinite resistance, test the serial data circuits for a short between them.
- If the circuits test normal, replace the BCM.
