Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Chevrolet Trax and 2018 Buick Encore. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- Remove the component: KR95A Liftgate Unlatch Relay
- Connect a test lamp between the test points: Control circuit terminal R2-2 & Ground
- Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode
- Perform the scan tool control function: Liftgate Unlatch - Unlatch
Verify the test lamp turns On and Off.
- If the test lamp is always Off
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off & Remove - Test lamp
- Disconnect the electrical connector: X5@K9 Body Control Module
- Test for infinite resistance between the test points: Control circuit terminal R2-2@Relay Socket & 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 ohms between the test points: Control circuit terminal R2-2@Relay Socket & Terminal 11 X5@Control module harness
- If 2 ohms or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 ohms - Replace the component: K9 Body Control Module
- If the test lamp is always On
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off & Remove - Test lamp
- Disconnect the electrical connector: X5@K9 Body Control Module
- Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode
- Test for less than 1 V between the test points: Control circuit terminal R2-2@Relay Socket & Ground
- If 1 V or greater - Repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
- If less than 1 V - Replace the component: K9 Body Control Module
- Go to next step: If the test lamp turns On and Off
- Connect a test lamp between the test points: B+ circuit terminal R2-3 & Control circuit terminal R2-1
- Perform the scan tool control function: Liftgate Unlatch - Unlatch
Verify the test lamp turns On and Off.
- If the test lamp is always Off
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off & Remove - Test lamp
- Disconnect the electrical connector: X5@K9 Body Control Module
- Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode
- Test for less than 1 V between the test points: Control circuit terminal R2-1@ Relay Socket & Ground
- If 1 V or greater - Repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
- Go to next step: If less than 1 V
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points: Control circuit terminal R2-1@Relay Socket & Terminal 20 X5@Control module harness
- If 2 ohms or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 ohms - Replace the component: K9 Body Control Module
- If the test lamp is always On
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off & Remove - Test lamp
- Disconnect the electrical connector: X5@K9 Body Control Module
- Test for infinite resistance between the test points: Control circuit terminal R2-1@Relay Socket & Ground
- If less than infinite resistance - Repair the short to ground on the circuit.
- If infinite resistance - Replace the component: K9 Body Control Module
- Go to next step: If the test lamp turns On and Off
- Test or replace the component: KR95A Liftgate Unlatch Relay
