Circuit/System Testing

2014 Chevrolet Equinox LS, FWD, Gas/EthanolSECTION Circuit/System Testing
  1. Verify a test lamp illuminates between the G13 Generator B+ circuit terminal A X1, B X1 or 1 X1, and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is good 
    1. Remove the test lamp and disconnect the B+ cable at the G13 Generator.
    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. Remove the test lamp, disconnect the battery negative cable, and disconnect the G13 Generator B+ cable.
    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 
  2. Disconnect the X2 harness connector at the G13 Generator, ignition ON.
  3. Test for 1 V or greater between the control circuit terminal 1 X2 and ground.
    • If less than 1 V 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connectors at the K20 Engine Control Module.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the control circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance
    3. Test for less than 2 Ω in the control circuit end to end.
      • If greater than 2 Ω, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
    • If 1V or greater 
  4. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connectors at the K20 Engine Control Module, Ignition ON.
  5. Test for less than 1 V between the G13 Generator control circuit terminal 1 X2 and ground.
    • If greater than 1 V 

      Repair the short to voltage on the circuit.

    • If 1V or less 
  6. Test or replace the G13 Generator.

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.
