Circuit/System Testing

2013 Chevrolet Corvette Base, 2D Convertible, Standard Trans, Trans Mfr CD 6L85M/MM6SECTION Circuit/System Testing

HUD Inoperative

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the HUD.
  2. Ignition OFF, test for less than 5 ohms between the HUD ground circuit terminal 6 and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the HUD.
  3. Ignition ON, verify a test lamp illuminates when connected between the B+ circuit terminal 1 and ground. If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the HUD.
  4. Ignition ON, verify a test lamp illuminates when connected between the HUD dimming up switch signal circuit terminal 11 and B+ while pressing the HUD dimming up switch.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the HUD switch.
  5. Ignition ON, verify a test lamp illuminates when connected between the HUD dimming down switch signal circuit terminal 12 and B+ while pressing the HUD dimming down switch.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the HUD switch.
  6. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the HUD.

HUD Switch Malfunction

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the HUD switch.
  2. Test for less than 5.0 ohms between the HUD switch ground circuit terminal F and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  3. Ignition ON, verify that all scan tool HUD Switch parameters are Inactive.
    • If any are not Inactive, test the signal circuit terminals listed below for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the HUD.
    • Page switch signal terminal H
    • Image up switch signal terminal J
    • Image down switch signal terminal K
    • Mode switch signal terminal G
  4. Ignition ON, install a 3A fused jumper wire between the HUD switch signal circuit terminals listed below and the ground circuit terminal F. Verify that all scan tool HUD switch parameters are Active.
    • Page switch signal terminal H
    • Image up switch signal terminal J
    • Image down switch signal terminal K
    • Mode switch signal terminal G
    • If any are not Active, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the HUD.
  5. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the HUD switch.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • β€’ You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • β€’ Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • β€’ The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • β€’ You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • β€’ You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
