Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Chevrolet Volt. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Vehicle OFF, scan tool disconnected, all doors closed, all accessories OFF, open and close drivers door, disconnect the harness connector at the B10B ambient light/sunload sensor. It may take up to 2 minutes for all vehicle systems to power down.
- Test for less than 15 Ω between the low reference circuit terminal 6 and ground.
- If 15 Ω or greater
- Vehicle OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the K33 HVAC control module, vehicle in Service Mode.
- Test for less than 1 V between the low reference circuit terminal 6 and ground.
- If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
- If less than 1 V
- Test for less than 2 Ω in the low reference circuit end to end.
- If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 Ω, replace the K33 HVAC control module.
- If less than 15 Ω
- Vehicle in Service Mode.
- Verify the scan tool Ambient Light Sensor parameter is greater than 4.65 V.
- If 4.65 V or less
- Vehicle OFF, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the K9 body control module.
- Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit terminal 5 and ground.
- If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
- If infinite resistance, replace the K9 body control module.
- If greater than 4.65 V
- Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 5 and the low reference circuit terminal 6.
- Verify the scan tool Ambient Light Sensor parameter is less than 0.196 V.
- If 0.196 V or greater
- Vehicle OFF, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the K9 body control module, vehicle in Service Mode.
- Test for less than 1 V between the signal circuit terminal 5 and ground.
- If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
- If less than 1 V
- Test for less than 2 Ω in the signal circuit end to end.
- If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 Ω, replace the K9 body control module.
- If less than 0.196 V
- Test or replace the B10 ambient light sensor.
