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.
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the EBCM.
  2. Ignition OFF and scan tool disconnected, open and close the driver door, and wait 1 minute. Test for less than 5 Ω between the ground circuit terminals listed below and ground:
    • Terminal E
    • Terminal F
    • Terminal 13 (JL7)
    • Terminal 38 (JL7)
    • If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuits for an open/high resistance.
  3. Ignition ON, verify a test lamp illuminates between the B+ / IGN circuits terminals listed below and ground.
    • B+ terminal A
    • B+ terminal B
    • IGN terminal C
    • B+ terminal 13 (JL7)
    • B+ terminal 38 (JL7)
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the affected B+ / IGN circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
  4. If the circuit tests normal, replace the EBCM.
