2013 Buick Regal Turbo Premium, Standard TransSECTION Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Buick Regal. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B24 cellular phone microphone. It may take up to 2 minutes for all vehicle systems to power down.
  2. Test for less than 10 Ω between the low reference circuit terminal A and ground.
    • If 10 Ω or greater 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the K73 telematics communication interface control module.
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the low reference circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, replace the K73 telematics communication interface control module.
    • If less than 10 Ω 
  3. Ignition ON.
  4. Test for 9.5-10.5 V between the signal circuit terminal B and ground.
    • If less than 9.5 V 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the K73 telematics communication interface control module.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance
    3. Test for less than 2 Ω in the signal circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, replace the K73 telematics communication interface control module.
    • If greater than 10.5 V 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the K73 telematics communication interface control module, ignition ON.
    2. Test for less than 1 V between the signal circuit and ground.
      • If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • If less than 1 V, replace the K73 telematics communication interface control module.
    • If between 9.5-10.5 V 
  5. Test or replace the B24 cellular phone microphone.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
