Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Cadillac STS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the sunload sensor assembly.
- Ignition OFF, scan tool OFF, doors CLOSED, test for less than 20 ohms between the low reference circuit terminal C and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the HVAC control module.
- Reconnect the sunload sensor assembly harness connector.
- Ignition ON, verify the scan tool Ambient Light Ssensor parameter is greater than 0.2 volts.
- If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit terminal D for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the HVAC control module.
- Verify the scan tool Ambient Light Sensor parameter is less than 4.9 volts.
- If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the HVAC control module.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the sunload sensor assembly.
