Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Chevrolet Malibu Classic. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Disconnect the CHMSL.
  2. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the ground circuit terminal B and B+.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ground circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance.
  3. Verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between the stop lamp switch signal circuit terminal A and ground.
    • If the test lamp illuminates, test the stop lamp switch signal circuit for a short to voltage.
  4. Test the stop lamp switch signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
  5. If all circuits test normal, replace the BCM.
