Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B10 ambient light sensor.
- Ignition OFF, test for less than 5 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 6 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Ignition ON, verify the scan tool Ambient Light Sensor parameter is greater than 4.65 V.
- If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit terminal 5 for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 BCM.
- Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 5 and the ground circuit terminal 6. Verify the scan tool Ambient Light Sensor parameter is less than 0.196 V.
- If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 BCM.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the B10 ambient light sensor.
