- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the inside rearview mirror.
- Test for less than 15 Ξ© between the mirror ground circuit terminal 5 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Ignition ON, test for less than 1 V between the keypad signal circuit terminal 3 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 K73 telematics communication interface control module.
- Ignition OFF, test for 500k-850k Ξ© between the keypad signal circuit terminal 3 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 K73 telematics communication interface control module.
- If greater than the specified range, test the keypad signal circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K73 telematics communication interface control module.
- Ignition ON, test for 9.5-10.5 V between the keypad supply voltage circuit terminal 4 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 K73 telematics communication interface control module.
- If greater than the specified range, test the supply voltage circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K73 telematics communication interface control module.
