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.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the C1 harness connector at the ECM.
- Connect a test lamp between stop lamp switch signal circuit and ground.
- 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.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the ECM.
