  2. Doors closed, courtesy lamps OFF, test for less than 10 Ξ© between the ground circuit terminal 8 and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  3. Ignition ON, command the green LED OFF with a scan tool. Test for less than 1 V between the control circuit terminal 14 and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the CIM.
  4. Command the green LED ON with a scan tool. Test for greater than 9 V between the control circuit terminal 14 and ground.
    • If less than the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the CIM.
