Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems - Off
- Disconnect the electrical connector: S70L Steering Wheel Controls Switch - Left
- Test for 4 to 11 V between the test points: Control circuit terminal 11 & Ground
- If less than 11 V
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- Disconnect the electrical connector: X1 K9 Body Control Module
- Test for infinite resistance between the test points: Control circuit terminal 5 @ K9 Body Control Module & Ground
- If less than infinite resistance - Repair the short to ground on the circuit.
- Go to next step: If infinite resistance
- Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points: Control circuit terminal 55 @ K9 Body Control Module & Control circuit terminal 11 @ S70L Steering Wheel Controls Switch - Left
- If 2 ohms or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 ohms - Verify the fuse is OK and there is voltage at the fuse.
- If greater than 11 V
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- Disconnect the electrical connector: X1 K9 Body Control Module
- Ignition - On/Vehicle - In Service Mode
- Test for less than 1 V between the test points: Control circuit terminal 5 @ K9 Body Control Module & Ground
- If greater than 1 V
Repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
- If 1 V or less
Replace the component: K9 Body Control Module
- If greater than 1 V
- Go to next step: If between 4 - 11 V
- Ignition - On/Vehicle - In Service Mode
- Connect a test lamp between the test points: Control circuit terminal 11 @ S70L Steering Wheel Controls Switch - Left & B+
- Perform the appropriate scan tool control function: Lane Departure Warning Indicator Command - Cycle On and Off
- If the test lamp is always Off
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off & Remove - Jumper wire(s)
- Disconnect the electrical connector: X1 K109 Frontview Camera Module
- Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points: Control circuit terminal 11 @ Component harness & Terminal 4 @ Control module harness
- If 2 ohms or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 ohms - Replace the component: K109 Frontview Camera Module
- If the test lamp is always On
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off & Remove - Jumper wire(s)
- Disconnect the electrical connector: K109 Frontview Camera Module
- Test for infinite resistance between the test points: Terminal 4 @ Component harness & Ground
- If less than infinite resistance - Repair the short to ground on the circuit.
- If infinite resistance - Replace the component: K109 Frontview Camera Module
- Go to next step: If the test lamp turns On and Off
- Test or replace the component: S70L Steering Wheel Controls Switch - Left
It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down before an accurate ground or low reference circuit continuity test can be performed.
Verify interior lighting dimming is turned all the way up.

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.
