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. Use the Wiring Schematics to identify the items/configurations listed below:
    • Brake Pedal Position Sensor Signal @ K20 Engine Control Module
  2. Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems - Off
  3. Disconnect the component:K20 Engine Control Module
  4. Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode
  5. Connect a test lamp between the test points:Brake Pedal Position Sensor Signal & Ground
  6. Slowly press and release the brake pedal.

    Verify the test lamp turns On and Off.

    • If the test lamp is always Off 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems - Off
    2. Disconnect the component:K9 Body Control Module
    3. {If equipped}Disconnect all components on the circuit:Brake Pedal Position Sensor Signal
    4. Test for infinite resistance between the test points:Signal circuit terminal 12 @ K9 Body Control ModuleX5 & Ground
      • If less than infinite resistance - Repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • Go to next step: If infinite resistance
    5. Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points:Signal circuit terminal 12 @ K9 Body Control ModuleX5 & The other end of the circuit
      • If 2 ohms or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 ohms - Replace the component:K9 Body Control Module
    • If the test lamp is always On 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems - Off
    2. Disconnect the component:K9 Body Control Module
    3. Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode
    4. Test for less than 1 V between the test points:Signal circuit terminal 12 @ K9 Body Control ModuleX5 & Ground
      • If 1 V or greater - Repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • If less than 1 V - Replace the component:K9 Body Control Module
    • Go to next step: If the test lamp turns On and Off 
  7. Replace the component:K20 Engine Control Module
