Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2009 GMC Savana Special, 2009 GMC Savana Camper Special, 2009 GMC Savana, 2009 Chevrolet RV Cutaway, and 2009 Chevrolet Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X4 harness connector at the BCM.
  2. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 4 and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
  3. Ignition OFF, connect the X4 harness connector at the BCM and disconnect the harness connector at the CHMSL.
  4. Test for less than 5.0 ohms between the ground circuit terminal B and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  5. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal A and ground.
  6. Ignition ON, press and release the brake pedal. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when pressing and releasing the brake pedal.
    • If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
    • If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
  7. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the CHMSL.
