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.
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B10 ambient light sensor.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. If all circuits test normal, replace the B10 ambient light sensor.
