Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Buick Envision. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT:
When removing connectors, inspect for damage or corrosion. Damage or corrosion in the following requires repair or replacement of the affected component/connector:
- Passenger seat position sensor
- SDM
- Passenger seat position sensor wiring harness connector
- SDM wiring harness connector
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the passenger seat position sensor.
- Test for less than 10 ohms between low reference circuit terminal 1 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the SDM.
- Ignition ON, test for 4.5 - 5.5 volts between the signal circuit terminal 2 and ground.
- If less that the specified range, test the signal circuit for an open/high resistance or a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the SDM.
- If greater that the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the SDM.
- If the circuits test normal, test or replace the passenger seat position sensor.
