WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Cadillac CTS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the ignition switch.
- Ignition ON, verify the scan tool Authentication Switch parameter is Inactive.
- If not the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal 5 for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the RCDLR.
- Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 5 and B+. Verify the scan tool Authentication Switch parameter is Active.
- If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the RCDLR.
- If all circuits tests normal, test or replace the ignition switch.
