Circuit/System Testing

    NOTE:

    It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down before an accurate ground or low reference circuit continuity test can be performed.

  1. Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems - Off
  2. Disconnect the electrical connector: X1 @ X53A Fuse Block - Rear Body
  3. Test for less than 10 ohms between the test points: Ground circuit terminal 27 X1 & Ground
    • If 10 ohms or greater 
    1. Ground Connection - Disconnect
    2. Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points: Ground circuit terminal 27 X1 & Ground Connection
      • If 2 ohms or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 ohms - Repair the open/high resistance in the ground connection.
    • Go to next step: If less than 10 ohms 
  4. Connect the electrical connector: X1 @ X53A Fuse Block - Rear Body
  5. Disconnect the electrical connector: X2 @ K33 HVAC Control Module
  6. Ignition - On/Vehicle - In Service Mode
  7. Momentarily connect a 3 A fused jumper wire between the test points: Control circuit terminal 19 X2 & B+

    Verify the component turns On and Off when connecting and disconnecting the jumper wire: E18 Rear Defogger Grid

    • If the component does not turn On and Off 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle - Off & Remove - Jumper wire(s)
    2. Disconnect the electrical connector: X2 @ X53A Fuse Block - Rear Body
    3. Ignition - On/Vehicle - In Service Mode
    4. Test for less than 1 V between the test points: Control circuit terminal 19 X2 @ Control module harness & Ground
      • If 1 V or greater - Repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • Go to next step: If less than 1 V
    5. Ignition/Vehicle - Off
    6. Test for infinite resistance between the test points: Control circuit terminal 19 X2 @ Control module harness & Ground
      • If less than infinite resistance - Repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • Go to next step: If infinite resistance
    7. Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points: Control circuit terminal 19 X2 @ Control module harness & Terminal 34 X2 @ Fuse Block Harness
      • If 2 ohms or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 ohms - Test or replace the component: X53A Fuse Block - Rear Body
    • Go to next step: If the component turns On and Off 
  8. Replace the component: K33 HVAC Control Module
