Circuit/System Testing

2018 Buick Regal BaseSECTION Circuit/System Testing
  1. Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF, scan tool disconnected, disconnect the harness connector at the K77 Remote Control Door Lock Receiver. It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down.
  2. Test for less than 30 Ω between the low reference circuit terminal 1 and ground.
    • If 30 Ω or greater 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K9 Body 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 K9 Body Control Module.
    • Go to next step: If less than 30 Ω 
  3. Ignition ON.
  4. Test for greater than 11.5 V between the B+ circuit terminal 4 and ground.
    • If 11.5 V or less 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K9 Body Control Module.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the B+ circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • Go to next step: If Infinite resistance.
    3. Test for less than 2 Ω in the B+ circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
    • Go to next step: If greater than 11.5 V 
  5. Test for 0.001 - 6 V between the serial data circuit terminal 2 and ground.
    • If less than 0.001 V 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K9 Body Control Module.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the serial data circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • Go to next step: If infinite resistance
    3. Test for less than 2 Ω in the serial data circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
    • If greater than 6 V 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K9 Body Control Module, ignition ON.
    2. Test for less than 0.001 V between the serial data circuit and ground.
      • If 0.001 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • If less than 0.001 V, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
    • Go to next step: If between 0.001 - 6 V 
  6. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 and X2 harness connectors at the K9 Body Control Module, ignition ON.
  7. Test for less than 0.001 V between the K9 Body Control Module serial data circuit terminal 26 X1 and ground.
    • If 0.001 V or greater 

      Repair the short to voltage on the circuit.

    • Go to next step: If less than 0.001 V 
  8. Ignition OFF.
  9. Test for infinite resistance between the K9 Body Control Module serial data circuit terminal 26 X1 and ground.
    • If less than infinite resistance 

      Repair the short to ground on the circuit.

    • Go to next step: If infinite resistance 
  10. Test for less than 2 Ω between the K9 Body Control Module serial data circuit terminal 26 X1 and the K77 Remote Control Door Lock Receiver serial data circuit terminal 3.
    • If 2 Ω or greater 

      Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.

    • Go to next step: If less than 2 Ω 
  11. Replace the K77 Remote Control Door Lock Receiver.
  12. Verify the keyless entry functions operate.
    • If the keyless entry functions do not operate 

      Replace the K9 Body Control Module

    • Go to next step: If the keyless entry functions operate 
  13. All OK.

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.
