Circuit/System Testing
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 appropriate front door courtesy lamp.
- Ignition OFF, scan tool OFF, doors CLOSED, interior lamps OFF, test for less than 5.0 ohms between the low control circuit terminal B and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the low control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the appropriate door control module.
- Connect a test lamp between the high control circuit terminal A and the low control circuit terminal B.
- Command the courtesy lamp 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 high control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the appropriate door control module.
- If the test lamp is always OFF, test the high control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the appropriate door control module.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the appropriate door courtesy lamp.
