Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Buick Regal. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the S70R Steering Wheel Controls Switch - Right, ignition ON.
  2. Test for 11.8-12.2 V between the reference voltage circuit terminal 1 and ground.
    • If less than 11.8 V 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K9 body control module.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the reference voltage circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance
    3. Test for less than 2 Ω in the reference voltage 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 greater than 12.2 V 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K9 body control module, ignition ON.
    2. Test for less than 1 V between the reference voltage circuit and ground.
      • If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • If less than 1 V, replace the K9 body control module.
    • If between 11.8-12.2 V 
  3. Test for 11.8-12.2 V between the reference voltage circuit terminal 1 and signal circuit terminal 2.
    • If not between 11.8-12.2 V 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K9 body control module.
    2. Test for less than 1 V between the signal circuit and ground.
      • If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • If less than 1 V
    3. 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 between 11.8-12.2 V 
  4. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K9 body control module.
  5. Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit terminal 2 and ground.
    • If less than infinite resistance 

      Repair the short to ground on the circuit.

    • If infinite resistance 
  6. Test or replace the S70R Steering Wheel Controls Switch - Right.
