Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Cadillac XTS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems - Off
- Disconnect the electrical connector: X1 @ X50A Fuse Block - Underhood
- Test for less than 10 ohms between the test points: Ground circuit terminal 71 X1 & Ground
- If 10 ohms or greater
- Ground Connection - Disconnect
- Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points: Ground circuit terminal 71 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
- Connect the electrical connector: X1 @ X50A Fuse Block - Underhood
- Disconnect the electrical connector: X5 @ K9 Body Control Module
- Ignition - On/Vehicle - In Service Mode
- Momentarily connect a 3 A fused jumper wire between the test points: Control circuit terminal 16 X5 & B+
Verify the component produces a clicking sound: KR113 Child Security Lock Disable Relay
- If the component does not produce a sound
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off & Remove - Jumper wire(s)
- Disconnect the electrical connector: X2 @ X50A Fuse Block - Underhood
- Ignition - On/Vehicle - In Service Mode
- Test for less than 1 V between the test points: Control circuit terminal 16 X5 @ 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
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- Test for infinite resistance between the test points: Control circuit terminal 16 X5 @ Control module harness & Ground
- If less than infinite resistance - Repair the short to ground on the circuit.
- Go to next step: If infinite resistance
- Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points: Control circuit terminal 16 X5 @ Control module harness & Control circuit terminal 13 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: X50A Fuse Block - Underhood
- Go to next step: If the component turns On and Off
- Replace the component: K9 Body Control Module
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.
