Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2011 GMC Yukon XL, 2011 GMC Yukon, 2011 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2011 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2011 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X3 harness connector at the liftgate control module.
  2. Test for less than 15 Ω between the control terminal 14 at the liftgate control module and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, replace the liftgate control module.
  3. Test for less than 15 Ω between the control terminal 13 at the liftgate control module and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, replace the liftgate control module.
  4. Test for 9-10 Ω between the control circuit terminal 13 and control circuit terminal 14 at the liftgate motor assembly.
    • If less than the specified range, test either control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuits test normal, replace the liftgate actuator assembly.
    • If greater than the specified range, test either control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, replace the liftgate actuator assembly.
  5. If all circuits test normal, replace the liftgate control module.
