Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Chevrolet HHR. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the CHMSL relay.
- Connect a test lamp between the signal circuit terminal 1 and ground.
- Ignition ON, press and release the brake pedal. Verify the test lamp turns ON and OFF when pressing and releasing the brake pedal.
- If the test lamp is always ON, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- If the test lamp is always OFF, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- Ignition OFF, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the ground circuit terminal 2 and B+.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Ignition OFF, connect the CHMSL relay.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connectors at the control modules ECM X1 (L61 or LE5) or X2 (LNF) and the TCM.
- Connect a test lamp between the TCM harness connector terminal 42 and ground.
- Ignition ON, press and release the brake pedal. Verify the test lamp turns ON and OFF when pressing and releasing the brake pedal.
- If the test lamp is always ON, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the CHMSL relay.
- If the test lamp is always OFF, test the signal circuit and the CHMSL fuse circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuits tests normal, test or replace the CHMSL relay.
- Ignition OFF, connect the harness connector at the TCM.
- Connect a test lamp between the appropriate signal circuit terminal listed below and ground.
- ECM harness connector X1 terminal 55 (L61 or LE5)
- ECM harness connector X1 terminal 52 (LNF)
- Ignition ON, press and release the brake pedal. Verify the test lamp turns ON and OFF when pressing and releasing the brake pedal.
- If the test lamp is always ON, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the TCM.
- If the test lamp is always OFF, test the signal circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the TCM.
- If all circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
