Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Cadillac STS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the inside rearview mirror.
- Ignition ON, test for voltage between 9.8-10.2 volts between the supply voltage, terminal 6 and ground.
- If less or more than the specified value, repair short to ground, open or replace the VCIM.
- Ignition OFF, reconnect the harness connector at the inside rearview mirror.
- Disconnect the C1 VCIM harness connector.
- Test for 500 to 20K ohms of resistance between C1 VCIM harness connector terminal 12 and 11 when each of the keypad button is pressed.
- If resistance is within the specified value when any of the keys are pressed replace the VCIM.
- Disconnect the harness connector at the inside rearview mirror.
- Test for infinite resistance between the inside rearview mirror connector terminal 11 and ground.
- If less than infinite resistance repair short to ground on the keypad signal circuit.
- Test for less than 1 ohm between the C1 VCIM connector terminal 11 and the inside rearview mirror connector terminal 11.
- If more than the specified value repair open or high resistance on the keypad signal circuit.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the keypad.
