Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Cadillac XT5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
    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: S48B Multifunction Switch - Overhead Console
  3. Test for less than 10 ohms between the test points: Ground circuit terminal 5 & Ground
    • If 10 ohms or greater 
    1. Disconnect the ground connection:
    2. Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points: Ground circuit terminal 5 & 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. Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode
  5. Perform the scan tool control function: Green Indicator Command - Off

    Test for less than 1 V between the test points: Control circuit terminal 15@Component harness & Ground

    • If 1 V or greater 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle - Off
    2. Disconnect the electrical connector: X1@K73 Telematics Communication Interface Control Module
    3. Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode
    4. Test for less than 1 V between the test points: Control circuit terminal 15@Component harness & Ground
      • If 1 V or greater - Repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • If less than 1 V - Replace the component: K73 Telematics Communication Interface Control Module
    • Go to next step: If less than 1 V 
  6. Perform the scan tool control function: Green Indicator Command - On

    Test for greater than 8 V between the test points: Control circuit terminal 15@Component harness & Ground

    • If 8 V or less 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle - Off
    2. Disconnect the electrical connector: X1@K73 Telematics Communication Interface Control Module
    3. Test for infinite resistance between the test points: Control circuit terminal 15@Component harness & Ground
      • If less than infinite resistance - Repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • Go to next step: If infinite resistance
    4. Ignition/Vehicle - Off
    5. Disconnect the electrical connector:X1@ K73 Telematics Communication Interface Control Module
    6. Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points: Control circuit terminal 15@Component harness & Terminal 3@Control module harness
      • If 2 ohms or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 ohms - Replace the component: K73 Telematics Communication Interface Control Module
    • Go to next step: If greater than 8 V 
  7. Test or replace the component: S48B Multifunction Switch - Overhead Console
