Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 GMC Canyon and 2009 Chevrolet Colorado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the traction control switch.
- Test for less than 5 ohms between the ground circuit terminal H and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Ignition ON, verify the scan tool BCM TCS Switch State parameter is Released.
- If not the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal J for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal J and the ground circuit terminal H. Verify the scan tool BCM TCS Switch State parameter is Pressed.
- If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- Ignition ON, verify the scan tool BCM Traction Switch LED parameter is OFF.
- If not the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal B for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal B and the ground circuit terminal H. Verify the scan tool BCM Traction Switch LED parameter is ON.
- If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the traction control switch.
