- Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the S3 transmission shift lever. It may take up to 2 minutes for all vehicle systems to power down.
- Test for less than 10 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 2 and ground.
- If 10 Ω or greater
- Ignition OFF.
- Test for less than 2 Ω in the ground circuit end to end.
- If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 Ω, repair the open/high resistance in the ground connection.
- If less than 10 Ω
- Ignition ON, connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 4 X1 and the ground circuit terminal 2 X1.
- Verify the test lamp turns ON and OFF when commanding the Brake Transmission Shift Interlock Solenoid Actuator ON and OFF with a scan tool.
- If the test lamp is always OFF
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K9 body control module.
- Test for infinite resistance between the control circuit and ground.
- If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
- If infinite resistance
- Test for less than 2 Ω in the control circuit end to end.
- If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 Ω
- Ignition ON.
- Verify a test lamp illuminates between each B+ and ignition circuit terminal at the control module harness connector.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, repair the circuit or fuse as necessary.
- If the test lamp illuminates at each B+ and ignition circuit, replace the K9 body control module.
- If the test lamp is always ON
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K9 body control module, ignition ON.
- Test for less than 1 V between the control circuit and ground.
- If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
- If less than 1 V, replace the K9 body control module.
- If the test lamp turns ON and OFF
- Test or replace the S3 transmission shift lever.

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.
