Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Cadillac XLR. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the C1 harness connector at the ECM.
  2. Connect a test lamp between stop lamp switch signal circuit and ground.
  3. Ignition ON, command the stop lamp relay control ON and OFF with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
    • If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
  4. If all circuits test normal, replace the ECM.
