Circuit/System Testing

NOTE:

Use the schematics and connector end views to identify the device's ground, B+, ignition, accessory wake up serial data 2, and serial data circuit terminals.

  1. Ignition/Vehicle OFF, all access doors closed, all vehicle systems OFF, and all keys at least 3 m (9.8 ft) away from vehicle. Disconnect the harness connectors at the K177 Brake Booster Control Module. It may take up to 10 min for all vehicle systems to power down.
  2. Test for less than 10 Ω between each ground circuit terminal and ground.
    • If 10 Ω or greater 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle OFF.
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the ground circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, repair the open/high resistance in the ground connection.
    • Go to next step: If less than 10 Ω 
  3. Ignition ON/Vehicle in Service Mode.
  4. If equipped, verify a test lamp illuminates between each B+ circuit terminal and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is good 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle OFF, remove the test lamp.
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the B+ circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, verify the fuse is not open and there is voltage at the fuse.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is open 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle OFF, remove the test lamp.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the B+ circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance, replace the K177 Brake Booster Control Module.
    • Go to next step: If the test lamp illuminates 
  5. If equipped, verify a test lamp illuminates between each ignition circuit terminal and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is good 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle OFF, remove the test lamp.
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the ignition circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, verify the fuse is OK and there is voltage at the fuse.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is open 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle OFF, remove the test lamp.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the ignition circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance, replace the K177 Brake Booster Control Module.
    • Go to next step: If the test lamp illuminates 
  6. If equipped, verify a test lamp illuminates between the accessory wakeup serial data 2 circuit terminal and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle OFF and all vehicle systems OFF, remove the test lamp, disconnect the harness connectors at the K114B Hybrid/EV Powertrain Control Module 2.
    2. Test for greater than 100 Ω between the accessory wakeup serial data 2 circuit and ground.
      • If 100 Ω or less, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • Go to next step: If greater than 100 Ω
    3. Test for less than 2 Ω in the accessory wakeup serial data 2 circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, replace the K114B Hybrid/EV Powertrain Control Module 2.
    • Go to next step: If the test lamp illuminates 
  7. Ignition/Vehicle OFF, all access doors closed, all vehicle systems OFF, and all keys at least 3 m (9.8 ft) away from vehicle. Disconnect the harness connectors at the device setting the DTC. It may take up to 10 min for all vehicle systems to power down.
  8. Test for less than 2 Ω in each Chassis high speed GMLAN serial data circuits end to end between the K177 Brake Booster Control Module and the device setting the DTC.
    • If 2 Ω or greater 

      Repair the open/high resistance in the serial data circuit.

    • Go to next step: If less than 2 Ω 
  9. Replace the K177 Brake Booster Control Module.
