Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2023 GMC Sierra 3500 HD and 2023 GMC Sierra 2500 HD. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems - Off
- Disconnect the appropriate electrical connector: T10 Keyless Entry Antenna
- Ignition On - Engine Off
- Test for less than 1 V between the test points: Terminal 1 & Ground
- If 1 V or greater
- Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems - Off
- Disconnect the electrical connector: K84 Keyless Entry Control Module
- Ignition/Vehicle - On
- Test for less than 1 V between the test points: Signal circuit & Ground
- If 1 V or greater - Repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
- If less than 1 V - Replace the component: K84 Keyless Entry Control Module
- Go to next step: If less than 1 V
- Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems - Off
- Connect a DMM between the test points: Terminal 1 & Ground
- Measure = Voltage - (min/max)
- Press and hold the switch: Ignition Mode Switch
- If less than 1 V
- Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems - Off
- Disconnect the electrical connector: K84 Keyless Entry Control Module
- Test for infinite resistance between the test points: Signal circuit & 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: Signal circuit@Component harness & The other end of the circuit
- If 2 ohms or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 ohms - Replace the component: K84 Keyless Entry Control Module
- Go to next step: If greater than 1 V
- Test for less than 1 V between the test points: Terminal 2 & Ground
- If 1 V or greater
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- Disconnect the electrical connector: K84 Keyless Entry Control Module
- Test for less than 1 V between the test points: Low Reference circuit & Ground
- If 1 V or greater - Repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
- If less than 1 V - Replace the component: K84 Keyless Entry Control Module
- Go to next step: If less than 1 V
- Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems - Off
- Connect a DMM between the test points: Terminal 2 & Ground
- Measure = Voltage - (min/max)
- Press and hold the switch: Ignition Mode Switch
- If less than 1 V
- Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems - Off
- Disconnect the electrical connector: K84 Keyless Entry Control Module
- Test for infinite resistance between the test points: Low Reference circuit & 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: Signal circuit@Component harness & The other end of the circuit
- If 2 ohms or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 ohms - Replace the component: K84 Keyless Entry Control Module
- Go to next step: If greater than 1 V
- Replace the appropriate component: T10 Keyless Entry Antenna
- Press and hold the switch: Ignition Mode Switch
- A message and/or warning indicator may be displayed to the driver. = No Transponder Detected
- Displays = No Transponder Detected
Replace the component: K84 Keyless Entry Control Module
- Go to next step: Not Displayed = No Transponder Detected
- Displays = No Transponder Detected
- All OK.
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.
