Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2021 Buick Enclave. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ignition OFF, exterior lamps OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the inoperative E72 Hands - Free Liftgate Sensor Lamp. 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 2 and ground.
    • If 10 Ω or greater 
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the ground circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, repair the open/high resistance in the ground connection.
    • Go to next step: If less than 10 Ω 
  3. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 1 and ground, ignition ON.
  4. Verify the test lamp turns ON and OFF when commanding the Hands-Free Liftgate Sensor Lamp ON and OFF with a scan tool.
    • If the test lamp is always OFF 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the K84 Keyless Entry Control Module.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the control circuit 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 circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, replace the K84 Keyless Entry Control Module.
    • If the test lamp is always ON 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the K84 Keyless Entry Control Module, ignition ON.
    2. Test for less than 1 V between the control circuit terminal and ground.
      • If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • If less than 1 V, replace the K84 Keyless Entry Control Module.
    • Go to next step: If the test lamp turns ON and OFF 
  5. Test or replace the E72 Hands - Free Liftgate Sensor Lamp.
