Circuit/System Testing

2013 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD LT, 2D Cab Chassis, 6.6L Eng VIN 8, RWDSECTION Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2015 GMC Sierra 3500 HD, 2015 GMC Sierra 2500 HD, 2015 GMC Sierra 1500, 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD, and 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ignition OFF, all access doors closed, all vehicle systems OFF, and all keys at least 3 m (9.8 ft) away from vehicle. It may take up to 2 minutes for all vehicle systems to power down.
  2. Test for less than 2 Ω between each of the X84 Data Link Connector ground circuit terminals listed below and ground.
    • Ground circuit terminal 4
    • Ground circuit terminal 5
    • If 2 Ω or greater 
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the ground circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, repair the open/high resistance in the ground connection.
    • If less than 2 Ω 
  3. Ignition ON.
  4. Verify a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 16 at the X84 Data Link Connector and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is good 
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. 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, verify the fuse is not open and there is voltage at the fuse.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is open 
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the B+ circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
    • If the test lamp illuminates 
  5. Refer to the scan tool user guide.

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.
