Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Cadillac DTS. 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 DLC ground circuit terminal 5 and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for open/high resistance.
  2. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector (splice pack comb) at JX 300.
  3. Ignition ON, with a scan tool, attempt to communicate with the instrument panel cluster (IPC). Communication should be available.
    • If no communication, disconnect the modules still connected to the DLC one at a time, starting with the furthest from the DLC and attempt to communicate after each disconnect. When communication occurs, test the serial data circuit for a short to voltage and a short to ground between the last module disconnected and the previous module disconnected. If the circuit tests normal, replace the last module disconnected. If no communication is possible, test the serial data circuit for a short to ground, a short to voltage or an open/high resistance between the last module disconnected and the DLC. If the circuit tests normal, replace the last module disconnected.
  4. Install a 3-amp fused jumper wire to JX 300 terminal L, harness side.
  5. With IPC communications established, use the other end of the jumper wire to connect all other terminals, harness side, one at a time and verify that low speed communication remains available to the IPC.
    IMPORTANT: Allow communications for 5 seconds after connecting a module with the jumper to determine if communication is interrupted or not.
    • If low speed communication is interrupted after connecting an individual module at JX 300, test the serial data circuit between JX 300 and the last module connected for a short to voltage and short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the module that caused no communication.
