WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2011 GMC Yukon XL, 2011 GMC Yukon, 2011 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2011 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2011 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the A10 inside rearview mirror.
  2. Test for less than 10 Ξ© between the mirror ground circuit terminal 8 and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  3. Ignition ON, test for less than 1 V between the keypad signal circuit terminal 11 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 CIM.
  4. Ignition OFF, test for 600k-800k Ξ© between the keypad signal circuit terminal 11 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 CIM.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the keypad signal circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the CIM.
  5. Ignition ON, test for 9.5-10.5 V between the keypad supply voltage circuit terminal 12 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 CIM.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the supply voltage circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the CIM.
  6. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the button assembly.
