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.
    NOTE:

    It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down before an accurate ground or low reference circuit continuity test can be performed.

  1. Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems - Off
  2. Disconnect the electrical connector:M40 Rear Compartment Lid Latch
  3. Verify a test lamp illuminates between ground circuit terminal 2 and B+.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate 
    1. Repair the open/high resistance on circuit 1650 or the ground connection.
    • Go to next step: If the test lamp illuminates 
  4. Connect a test lamp between the test points:Control circuit terminal 1 & ground
  5. Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode
  6. Operate the component:E7 Rear License Plate Lamp - Pressed

    Verify the test lamp state:

    Not used=Test lamp Off

    Pressed=Test lamp flashes ON and OFF

    • If the test lamp is always OFF 
    1. Ignition OFF, remove the test lamp, disconnect the harness connector at the K9 Body Control Module
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the control 6128 and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • Go to next step: If infinite resistance
    3. Test for less than 2 Ω in the control 6128 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 the test lamp is always ON 
    1. Ignition OFF, remove the test lamp, disconnect the harness connector at the K9 Body Control Module.
    2. Test for less than 1 V between the control 6128 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
    • Go to next step: If the test lamp turns ON and OFF 
  7. Test or replace the component:M40 Rear Compartment Lid Latch
