Circuit/System Testing

2011 Buick Enclave CXL, FWDSECTION Circuit/System Testing
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the inside rearview mirror.
  2. Test for less than 10 Ξ© between the mirror ground circuit terminal 8 and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  3. Ignition ON, test for less than 1 V between the keypad signal circuit terminal 11 and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the keypad signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the CIM.
  4. Ignition OFF, test for 600k-800k Ξ© between the keypad signal circuit terminal 11 and ground.
    • If less than the specified range, test the keypad signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the CIM.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the keypad signal circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the CIM.
  5. Ignition ON, test for 9.5-10.5 V between the keypad supply voltage circuit terminal 12 and ground.
    • If less than the specified range, test the supply voltage circuit for a short to ground or open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the CIM.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the supply voltage circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the CIM.
  6. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the button assembly.
