  1. With a scan tool, verify DTC U0100-U0299 or U2105-U2199 is not set as current.
  2. Ignition OFF, test for less than 5 Ξ© between the applicable module ground circuit and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the circuit for an open/high resistance.
  3. Ignition OFF, disconnect the applicable module harness connector.
  4. Ignition ON, verify a test lamp illuminates between the following circuits of the applicable module and ground:
    • The battery positive voltage input circuits
    • The battery positive voltage output circuits
    • The ignition voltage input circuits
    • The ignition voltage output circuits
    • The switched battery positive voltage supply circuits
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit fuse is open, test the circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the applicable control module.
  5. Ignition OFF, test for less than 5 Ξ© between the non-communicating modules GMLAN serial data circuits and the module reporting DTC U0002.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the circuit for an open/high resistance.
  6. If all circuits test normal, replace the applicable control module.
