WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2012 GMC Yukon XL, 2012 GMC Yukon, 2012 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2012 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2012 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector X2 at the SDG module.
- Ignition OFF and the scan tool disconnected, open and close the driver door, and wait 1 minute.
- Test for less than 5.0 ohms between the ground circuit terminal 18 X2 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 8 X2 and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
- Test for 10.5-12.5 volts between the serial data communication enable circuit terminal 16 X2 and ground.
- If less than the specified range, test the circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the applicable communication/control module.
- Ignition OFF, connect the harness connector X2 to the SDG module.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector X1 at the SDG module.
- Ignition ON, test for 2.1-2.5 volts between the high speed GMLAN serial data bus low circuit terminal listed below and ground:
- Terminal 15 X1
- Terminal 16 X1
- If greater than the specified range, test the circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the applicable communication/control module.
- If less than the specified range, test the circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the applicable communication/control module.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the SDG module.
IMPORTANT:
The scan tool must be disconnected and the ignition switch OFF for 30 seconds for proper test results.
