Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Chevrolet Sonic. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, all doors closed, all accessories OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the E37A Dome/Reading Lamps and E37B Dome/Reading Lamps - 2nd Row. It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down.
- Test for less than 10 Ω between the appropriate ground circuit terminal listed below and ground.
- E37A Dome/Reading Lamps terminal 6
- E37B Dome/Reading Lamps - 2nd Row terminal 2
- If 10 Ω or greater
- Ignition OFF.
- Test for less than 2 Ω in the ground circuit end to end.
- If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 Ω, repair the open/high resistance in the ground connection.
- Go to next step: If less than 10 Ω
- Connect a test lamp between the appropriate control circuit terminal listed below and ground.
- E37A Dome/Reading Lamps terminal 2
- E37B Dome/Reading Lamps - 2nd Row terminal 3
- Verify the test lamp turns ON and OFF when commanding the Courtesy Lamps ON and OFF with a scan tool.
- If the test lamp is always OFF
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X7 harness connector at the K9 Body Control Module.
- Test for infinite resistance between the control circuit and ground.
- If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
- Go to next step: If infinite resistance
- Test for less than 2 Ω in the control circuit end to end.
- If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 Ω, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
- If the test lamp is always ON
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X7 harness connector at the K9 Body Control Module, ignition ON.
- Test for less than 1 V between the control circuit terminal and ground.
- If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
- If less than 1 V, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
- Go to next step: If the test lamp turns ON and OFF
- Test or replace the inoperative E37 Dome/Reading Lamp bulb.
