Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Cadillac CT4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ignition OFF/Vehicle OFF and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the connector at the appropriate X80 Accessory Power Receptacle. It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down.
  2. Test for less than 10 Ω between the ground circuit terminal C and ground.
    • If greater than 10 Ω 

      Repair the open/high resistance on circuit 1450 or ground connection.

    • Go to next step: If less than 10 Ω 
  3. Ignition ON/Vehicle in Service Mode.
  4. Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the control circuit terminal A and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate and the fuse/circuit breaker is good 
    1. Test the appropriate circuit for an open/high resistance:
      • X80H Accessory Power Receptacle - Floor Console Front = Circuit 1001
      • X80L Front Floor Console Accessory Power Rear Receptacle = Circuit 1301
      • If an open/high resistance is found, repair the fault on the circuit.
      • If an open/high resistance is not found, verify the fuse/circuit breaker is not open and there is voltage at the fuse/circuit breaker. Refer to Retained Accessory Power Malfunction .
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate and the fuse/circuit breaker is open 
    1. Test the appropriate circuit for a short to ground:
      • X80H Accessory Power Receptacle - Floor Console Front = Circuit 1001
      • X80L Front Floor Console Accessory Power Rear Receptacle = Circuit 1301
      • If a short to ground is found, repair the fault on the circuit.
      • Go to next step: If a short to ground is not found.
    2. Replace the appropriate X80 Accessory Power Receptacle.
    • Go to next step: If the test lamp illuminates 
  5. Replace the appropriate X80 Accessory Power Receptacle.
