Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2008 GMC Yukon XL, 2008 GMC Yukon, 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2008 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2008 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Test for less than 1 ohm between the DLC ground circuit terminal 5 and ground.
    • If greater than 1 ohm, test the ground circuit for open/high resistance.
  2. Ignition OFF, disconnect the JX 300 harness connector at the splice pack.
  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 ground and a short to voltage 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 3A fused jumper wire between terminal A and terminal M of the splice pack. Install another 3-amp fused jumper wire to terminal L.
  5. Using the open end of the jumper wire at terminal L, connect to splice pack terminals B through K and attempt to establish communications with each module connected to the splice pack, one at a time. Each module should be able to communicate.
    • If communications cannot be established with any module after connecting an individual module, replace the module that caused the no communication.
