Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2023 GMC Savana 3500, 2023 GMC Savana 2500, 2023 Chevrolet Express 3500, and 2023 Chevrolet Express 2500. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the shift lock control solenoid.
  2. Ignition OFF, test for less than 5.0 ohm between the ground circuit terminal B and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  3. Install a test lamp between the ground circuit terminal B and the control circuit terminal A.
  4. Ignition ON, command the scan tool BCM Shift Lock Solenoid output control ON and OFF. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF as commanded.
    • If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
    • If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
  5. If the circuit tests normal, replace the transmission control.
