  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the A20 radio/HVAC controls.
  2. Ignition OFF, test for less than 5 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 17 and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  3. Ignition ON, verify the scan tool Hazard Lamps Switch parameter is Inactive.
    • If not the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal 16 for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 BCM.
  4. Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 16 and the ground circuit terminal 17. Verify the scan tool Hazard Lamps Switch parameter is Active.
    • If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 BCM.
  5. If all circuits test normal, replace the A20 radio/HVAC controls
